Headquartered in Central Pennsylvania, Performance Distillation Solutions is a worldwide leader in engineering and manufacturing distillation packing material. Our proprietary Pro-Pak® high efficiency distillation column packing is specially engineered with a unique capillary surface for greater effectiveness and efficiency for mass transfer. This exclusive design is especially beneficial under low liquid loadings where the capillary action draws liquid more evenly across the surface to remain highly effective during operation. In 1948, Michael Cannon of Cannon Instrument Company filed a U.S. patent for a distillation packing material characterized as half-cylinders of rolled, thin metal strips protruded with a dense arrangement of holes bearing jagged ruptures over their convex surface. The following year, this innovative new packing material was introduced to the world in an article titled, A New Distillation Packing, which was published in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Today, Performance Distillation Solutions stands as a recognized leader with our revolutionary Pro-Pak distillation packing material and continues to develop new products to meet the growing demands for various industry needs and applications.
