High-alumina inert ceramic balls are engineered precision spheres manufactured from ≥90% pure industrial alumina (Al2O3), fired at ultra-high temperatures (>1,600°C) to achieve exceptional density and chemical inertness. Designed for extreme chemical and thermal environments, these balls deliver unmatched:
*Mechanical Strength - Resist crushing in high-pressure reactors
*Acid/Alkali Immunity - Withstand concentrated acids (H2SO4, HCl) and caustics (NaOH, KOH)
*Thermal Shock Resistance - Sustain rapid temperature cycling (ΔT >800°C)
*Ultra-Low Contamination - Near-zero leachables for sensitive processes
Primary Functions:
* Catalyst Bed Support - Protect expensive catalysts in hydrotreaters/reactors
* Fluid Distribution - Optimize gas/liquid flow in packed towers
* Reactor Fillers - Minimize void volume in high-temperature vessels
* Abrasion Barriers - Shield sensitive internals from erosive flows
Ideal for: Refineries, petrochemical plants, syngas production, and aggressive acid/alkali processes where standard ceramic balls fail.
