Reflux packing?
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2021 10:50 am
First off, thank you to everyone who has been so helpful in answering the novice questions im having, its brought me a long way and i just wanted to say thank you. Now for the question.
Ive read that a lot of people use tightly/highly packed columns to reach azeo or 190 proof, Is this also true with a reflux column? If so, where do you put the packing say in a 4 column section with bubble plates? This question stems from my other thread where Im looking at a 6 plate column but if I need to maybe take out a few bubble plates and put some saddles or prisms in, do I really need 6 column sections or can I do this with 4 and pack them for vodka runs? Im ready to buy the column parts but dont wanna waste on unnecessary things if I dont have to, still have to get a controller for the elements.
