Product: Ceramic Intalox Saddle Rings
Ceramic Intalox Saddle Rings represent a high-efficiency evolution of traditional random packing, combining the structural advantages of rings and saddles. Engineered from premium alumina-silicate ceramics, these packings deliver superior mass transfer, ultra-low pressure drop, and exceptional corrosion/thermal resistance (up to 1090°C/2000°F) for demanding processes.
The patented asymmetric saddle design with internal ribs and contoured arches provides critical performance benefits:
1.Anti-Nesting Geometry: Prevents nesting (stacking) and promotes chaotic distribution → maximizes surface area utilization
2.Liquid Redistribution: Curved surfaces enhance liquid spreading → eliminates channeling
3.Gas/Liquid Turbulence: Ribbed interior creates micro-eddies → intensifies phase contact
4.Structural Integrity: Reinforced arches withstand >5 MPa crush loads
Ideal for high-corrosion, high-temperature, or fouling-prone systems where Pall Rings or Raschig Rings underperform, including:
✓ Hot acid gas scrubbing (H2SO4, HCl)
✓ Sulfur recovery (Claus tail gas)
✓ Caustic evaporation towers
✓ Geothermal gas processing
| Parameter | Specifications | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Material | High-Alumina Ceramic (≥70% Al2O3) | Enhanced acid resistance vs. standard ceramics |
| Standard Sizes | 25mm (1"), 38mm (1.5"), 50mm (2"), 75mm (3") | DN38 most common for scrubbers |
| Geometry | Asymmetrical saddle with internal ribs & arched supports | Prevents nesting; promotes randomness |
| Bulk Density | 680-720 kg/m³ (42-45 lb/ft³) | Optimized weight-to-strength ratio |
| Void Fraction | 75-82% | Higher than Raschig Rings → lower ΔP |
| Surface Area | 120-260 m²/m³ (37-79 ft²/ft³) | DN25: 255 m²/m³; DN50: 128 m²/m³ |
| Packing Factor (Fp) | 170-450 m-¹ (52-137 ft-¹) | 25% lower ΔP vs. same-size Raschig Rings |
| Crush Strength | >5.0 MPa (725 psi) | Resists bed compaction in deep towers |
| Thermal Limit | 1090°C (2000°F) continuous / 1200°C (2192°F) peak | Superior to metal packings |
| Acid Resistance | Relieve <0.1% in 20% HCl (95°C, 24h) | ASTM C279 tested |
