[en] A study on the use of X-ray tomography to investigate the liquid flow distribution in a structured catalytic distillation packing was carried out. The technique has significant potential to provide insight into gas-liquid hydraulics prevailing in complex catalytic distillation metallic packings. This information should greatly assist on-going efforts to develop fundamentally rigorous hydraulic models. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE Annual Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
