Abstract
A method for installing packing in a remote manufacturing yard is provided. The method can include the steps of manufacturing structured packing in a facility away from the remote manufacturing yard; splitting a level of the structured packing into a plurality of sections and then placing each section into a separate box for transport, wherein each box can include an inner profile configured to match its section of packing so as to reduce damage to the packing during transport; transporting the boxes to the remote manufacturing yard; and installing the packing into a column section.

A method for installing packing in a remote manufacturing yard, the method comprising the steps of:
- manufacturing structured packing in a facility away from the remote manufacturing yard;
- splitting a level of the structured packing into a plurality of sections and then placing each section into a separate box for transport, wherein each box comprises an inner profile configured to match its section of packing so as to reduce damage to the packing during transport;
- transporting the boxes to the remote manufacturing yard;
- and
- installing the packing into a column section,
- wherein the step of installing the packing into the column section further comprises the steps of:
- removing the structured packing of each box for a level of structured packing;
- organizing said structured packing on a working table to form a packing assembly;
- and
- installing a perimeter band around the perimeter of the packing assembly,
- wherein the perimeter band is configured to hold the packing assembly together in a substantially circular shape during installation of the packing into the column section,
- wherein the perimeter band further comprises a seal that is configured to direct fluid flowing along the inner wall of the column section toward the packing while the column section is in operation.
