Abstract
A gas/liquid contact apparatus which includes a plurality of packing sheets arranged in parallel, vertical, upright, face to face relationship. The packing sheets have a series of inclined corrugations formed therein. Each of the corrugations are formed so as to define an alternating series of longitudinally extending oppositely inclined surfaces which intersect and pass through a center plane of the packing sheet so as to define hills and valleys. The inclined surfaces have an amplitude relative to the center plane of the packing sheet which is opposite that of the adjacent inclined surfaces of an adjacent corrugation. The packing sheets are arranged adjacent each other such that the corrugations of adjacent packing sheets are oppositely oriented. The adjacent packing sheets are secured together where the hills of one of the packing sheets contacts the valleys of an immediately adjacent packing sheet.
