Globe-Pac® Random Tower Packing

Tri-Packs® specification equivalent

Globe-Pac is a specification-equivalent replacement for Tri-Packs® random packing. When your project specifies Tri-Packs geometry, Globe-Pac delivers identical performance characteristics — same surface area, void fraction, and pressure drop behavior — from Lantec's manufacturing and technical support infrastructure.

Globe-Pac® Random Tower Packing

Specification Compliance

Globe-Pac matches the original Jaeger Tri-Packs® geometry that became an industry standard for air strippers, degasifiers, and wet scrubbers. The patent expired; the specification persists. When engineering documents call for Tri-Packs, Globe-Pac qualifies without redesign or resubmittal.

Two Sizes for Standard Applications

Globe-Pac is available in 3.5" and 2" nominal sizes. The 3.5" size carries NSF certification for direct contact with potable water, making it suitable for drinking water air strippers and degasifiers. The 2" size provides higher surface area per cubic foot for applications where tower diameter is constrained.

Materials for Diverse Service Conditions

Globe-Pac is manufactured in polypropylene as standard, with additional thermoplastic options available for elevated temperatures or aggressive chemical service. Contact Lantec's technical department for material recommendations in non-standard applications.
