lot the result
Plot the pressure in the flow rate, as indicated in the below example. The optimal
packing flow rate is about 70% of the maximum flow rate. For some very rigid media
there will be no plateau, in those cases use the flow rate at maximum allowable pres-
sure for the column. The figure below shows the pressure flow curve.
