ICB-99 High alumina ball
ICB-99 high alumina balls are made from Alpha alumina that has a very low silica content. The high purity and strength make this an ideal choice for high temperature and stream applications where it is necessary to avoid the problems of leached silica coating downstream equipment or fouling or poisioning the catalyst bed.
Applications for ICB-99 high alumina ball:
· Ammonia production: herewith temperatures can reach 1250℃ with pressure as high as 3500kpa
· Methanol and hydrogen production: primarily reforming
· Alkylation process using hydrogen fluoride at high temperatures
· Naphtha reforming
· Isomerization
