    The document compares pressure drop for random packing and structural packing, noting that structural packing has half the pressure drop of random packing. It then provides specifications for a distillation column using structural packing, including a column diameter of 0.3m, vapor velocity of 3m/s, and heat requirement of 555088 kcal/hr which will be met by a steam flow rate of 1097 kg/hr at 3.5 kg/cm2g pressure.
