High Alumina Balls

GLP's High Alumina Support Balls (>99.2% Al2O3) are purpose fabricated from a specially formulated high purity alumina material and calcined to ensure the following properties:

• Maximum crush strength
• Highest temperature resistance
• Thermal shock resistance
• High sphericity for low pressure drop
• Ultra-low impurities
• Ultra-low porosity and water absorption

These High Alumina Support Balls are suited to high temperature / high severity applications where leachable components or water absorption can cause process issues or catalyst poisoning, or where ultra-high mechanical strength is required.

Typical Applications:

• Hydrogen and Syngas production
• Naphtha reforming
• Isomerisation
• Alkylation using HF at high temperatures
• Ammonia and Methanol Plants
• Low pressure drop
• Free from catalyst poisons
• Very low silica content

GLP can provide detailed technical datasheets upon request.
