This unique, lightweight, efficient distillation column packing was developed in our R&D laboratories in the process of separation of H₂O from D₂O (heavy water) by distillation.

Being chemically inert, with a large contact surface area, it proved to be an excellent distillation column packing in the process of upgrading and separation by distillation of our deuterated solvents.

We have determined the HETP (Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate) to be approximately 14.2 cm when using a standard test solution in a carefully controlled experimental apparatus, and we estimate that 100g of 5mm o.d. individual Multi-Channel™ units consists of 880 pieces, occupies 200 cm³ in volume and offers about 2720 cm² in total surface area.
