Activated Alumina Balls
Activated Alumina is an aluminum oxide that is highly porous and exhibits tremendous surface area. Activated Alumina is resistant to thermal stock and abrasion and will not shrink, swell, soften nor disintegrate when immersed in water. These are adored for it quality results and can be availed at market rates.
Applications:
- Purification of water (removal of metallic traces, BF3, TBC, HCl, HF and fluoridated hydrocarbons)
- Drying of air and gases such as steam cracked gases, catalytic reforming recycle gas, synthetic gas, natural gas, CO2
