There are primarily two types of bed packing: random and structured.
Random Packing: In random packing, catalyst particles are poured into the reactor in a random manner. This is simpler and cheaper but may lead to inefficient flow distribution and higher pressure drops. Structured Packing: Structured packing involves arranging the catalyst particles in a specific pattern to optimize flow distribution and minimize pressure drops. This method is more complex and expensive but offers better performance.
