Mellapak™ – Often copied, never equaled

Mellapak™ is the most widely used structured packing worldwide introduced by Sulzer Chemtech in 1977.

The newest generation MellapakCC™, structured packing specifically developed for carbon capture, decreases operational costs through improved carbon dioxide capture, absorbing it more efficiently from flue gas streams of fossil-fueled power plants. Sulzer Chemtech’s MellapakCC™ significantly reduces the column size and the pressure drop across the carbon dioxide absorber, thus reducing capital and operational expenses and minimize the energy consumption. Carbon capture and storage or utilization (CCS/CCU) is a key strategy that businesses can adopt to reduce their CO 2 emissions. By selecting the right technologies, pressing climate change mitigation targets can be met while benefitting from new revenue streams. This packing is currently applied in several leading CCS/CCU facilities worldwide, delivering considerable process advantages. By partnering with Sulzer Chemtech – a mass transfer specialist with extensive experience in separation technology for carbon capture – tailored solutions that maximize return on investment (ROI) can be implemented. With highly effective CCS/ CCU facilities, decarbonization becomes an undertaking that can enhance sustainability and competitiveness at the same time.
