First tests to define a suitable miniaturized set-up are discussed for two different novel experimental set-ups that investigate either the influence of the number of packing sheets or the geometry of a packing sheet focusing on liquid hold-up values for MONTZ-Pak B1-250.45 and propane-1,2-diol. Liquid hold-up values are compared to existing hold-up correlations from the literature. ER -
