Abstract
The supporting grate for material exchange columns has a corrugated profile (3) and gas openings (5) which are all arranged in the flanks (6) of the profile above a minimum height H1. A projecting edge (13) of the gas openings increases the strength of the profile and forces the fluid to run off into the corrugation trough of the profile and from there into a collecting trough (12) lying below it. In this way the supporting grate also acts as a fluid collector.
