INTRODUCTION
Hanbal Masstech Limited[HMT] is a leading company which designs and manufactures Tower Trays,
Internals, Packings, Reactor Internals, Wire Mesh Demisters, Mist Eliminators, etc. Our company
has been providing these products for Chemical Companies, Oil Refineries, Petrochemical Plants,
etc., as well as Engineering and Construction Companies since being founded in 1971.

We joined Norton Chemical Process Products Corporation in 1979 as Sales Representatives and
worked with them as the manufacturer, Joint Venture Partner[Norton Hanbal Korea Inc.],
design/manufacturer and Licensee until April 2002.

We conducted R&D with the Korea Institute of Energy Resource [KIER]. Especially noteworthy has
been the R&D undertaken with the KIER, Ruhr University in Germany, and Hanbal, as a Fractional
Research Inc, [FRI] member for five years under government assistance. Our R&D with KIER contin-
ues every year.

We have learned most of the design fabrication technologies from Norton CPPC, but we have some
of our own that will meet our customer's specific requirements.

Since we know what and how Norton has tested, we built an indoor test facility, 12 meter indoor facil-
ity, for distribution quality tests. What we have designed is unquestionable, we conduct tests to make
sure our products are perfect.

We also design and produce traditional style internals which are good for easy towers and those
costs are about 30% less compared to the high performance towers.

We thank you all for your help and concerns rendered to us so far and wish to do the same in the
future.

Sincerely, President & CEO

Enhanced Type G™ High Efficiency Tower Packing (ETG)

Features
• Highest efficiency tower packing on the market –3” to
6” HETP’s in commercial columns
• Low pressure drop per theoretical stage, protects
thermally sensitive products and intermediates
• Most compact designs for simultaneous reactions,
distillations and absorptions and for direct contact
heat transfer
• Widest turndown range, ease of installation, and proven
scale-up factors make it ideal for lab and pilot columns.
• Linear scale-up factors make it ideal for lab and pilot
columns
• Snug fit against column eliminates wall flow, avoiding the need for wall wipers and reducing the need for re-distribution

What are Enhanced Type G High Efficiency Tower Packings?

Manufactured from multi-strand knitted mesh, the wicking action of the capillary passages formed between the wires gives
the packings their high efficiency, while high free volume maximizes capacity.
Typically 5 to 12 wires or filaments are cabled together, knit into ribbons 4" to 6" wide, and then given a crimp (see Figure 1).
These corrugations are then crossed to prevent nesting and either spirally wound or vertically laminated until one unit or
layer is made that covers the column’s entire cross section. Spirally wound method is only used in small columns when
there is a full body flange available for installation, while vertically laminated method can also be used when the packing
must go through a manway. In either construction the packing is oversized to assure a snug fit, even if the column is slightly
out of round. All the wires in contact with the wall mean that the liquid running down is immediately sponged off and directed
back into the packing.

Figure 1
Constructed by knitting multi-strand "cables," of a capillarynature,
that are then crimped to change direction that create tortuous
liquid passage ways for the rising vapor which promotes unsurpassed
gas
mixing.
 How do Enhanced Type G™ High Efficiency Tower Packings work?
Capillary flow is quickly formed in the packing’s numerous highspecific surface area channels which, depending on the
style selected, range from 1200m2/m3 to 16000m2/m3 (see Tables 1 and 2). This yields amongst the highest effective
surface areas of any packing on the market today. Thus Enhanced Type GTM High Efficiency Tower Packings have the
high hold-up of liquid necessary for heat and mass transfer, which also allow chemical reactions to take place
simultaneously with the physical processes of distillation or absorption. This contrasts with gauze packing where a
liquid film spreads over tightly woven wires, but only has gas-to-liquid mixing on two sides of this film.
