At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we delve into the science behind the materials that power industrial innovation. Today, we focus on the critical role of our 99% alpha alumina ceramic balls as a high-performance support media for high-temperature catalytic reforming processes. These advanced materials are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, providing a stable and inert platform for chemical reactions that are fundamental to the production of high-octane fuels and valuable chemical intermediates.

Catalytic reforming is a key process in petroleum refining, aimed at improving the quality of gasoline by rearranging hydrocarbon molecules. This complex process typically operates at elevated temperatures and pressures, demanding robust materials that can maintain their integrity. Our high-purity alumina balls, with their exceptional thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock, are perfectly suited for this application. They prevent issues like silica leaching, which can compromise catalyst performance and damage downstream equipment – a significant concern in high-temperature, steam-rich environments.

The chemical inertness of these 99 alpha alumina ceramic balls is another crucial factor. They do not react with the hydrocarbons being reformed or the catalytic agents, ensuring that the reactions proceed as intended without unwanted side effects. This purity also means that the balls themselves do not contribute impurities to the final product, maintaining the high quality required in refining operations. The consistent physical characteristics of these balls, such as their uniform size and high crush strength, also contribute to predictable bed packing and excellent flow distribution within the reactor.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to supplying materials that enhance process efficiency and yield. The application of these alumina ceramic balls as catalyst carriers in reforming units is a prime example of how advanced materials can optimize complex chemical transformations. Their ability to withstand harsh operating conditions ensures longer catalyst bed life, reduced downtime for maintenance, and improved overall economic performance for refineries.

We believe that understanding the material science behind our products is essential for our clients. The high-purity alumina catalyst support media offered by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. represents a commitment to excellence, providing the stability and reliability needed for the most demanding high-temperature catalytic reforming applications.
