Inert alumina balls
MTE has developed the Rest-O-Cat® 99 high alumina balls, when due to chemical composition, temperature resistance or mechanical strength the standard high silica content spheres are not suitable. The main industries where the Rest-O-Cat® 99 is used are petrochemical and ammonia plants. The standard MTE specification can be used in most of these applications and provides the same benefits as the standard silica types.
MTE is able to produce ultra-high purity alumina balls with reduce impurities as well. The standard Rest-O-Cat® 99 already have a low silica content, but the Rest-O- Cat® 99.7 ULS types have even further increased rates of alumina (99.7 %) making the product suitable for high temperature and steam applications where leached silica or sodium can influence the process conditions, like coating downstream equipment and poison catalyst beds. This makes the high alumina spheres suitable for chemical resistance, temperature resistance or mechanical strength, where standard silica based ceramics are not.
