Product Line

Product Description

Product Name: Standard Inert Ceramic Balls (Economy Grade / Low-Alumina)

Product Description:

Standard inert ceramic balls are cost-effective, chemically stable packing media manufactured from kaolin clay and silica-rich raw materials. With moderate alumina (Al₂O₃) content, these balls serve as reliable support media, tower packing, or filler material in non-extreme chemical processes. They provide essential functions such as liquid/gas distribution, catalyst bed support, and void space filling in mild operating environments.

Fired at conventional kiln temperatures, these balls offer:

• 
  *Adequate mechanical strength for low-pressure reactors

• 
  *Basic chemical resistance to weak acids/alkalis

• 
  *Thermal stability for continuous use in medium-temperature processes

• 
  *Economic efficiency for large-volume applications

Ideal for: Water treatment, mild gas scrubbing, fertilizer production, and other non-corrosive/low-stress environments where premium high-alumina balls are over-specified.

Product Application

Typical Applications:

• 
  *Support Bed Base Layer: Under high-alumina balls in reactors to reduce costs

• 
  *Packed Towers: CO₂ scrubbers, water deaeration, irrigation filtration

• 
  *Gas Distributors: Biogas purification, flue gas treatment

• 
  *Filler Media: Insulation layers, reactor bottom support

• 
  *Protective Barriers: Prevent resin/catalyst leakage in ion-exchange columns
  
   

  Advantages vs. Limitations:

  Advantages	Limitations
  Low Cost (30-50% cheaper than high-alumina balls)	Unsuitable for temperatures >900°C
  Adequate Strength for mild pressures	Weak acid/alkali resistance (pH 4-9 only)
  Rapid Thermal Recovery in cyclic operations	Higher wear rate in abrasive flows
  Wide Availability in bulk quantities	Not for HF, hot acid, or strong caus
