HiDur® Inert Balls - Random packings

Name: HiDur® Inert Balls - Random packings | Hansa Engineering
Availability: InStock

HiDur® Inert Balls are the simplest, regular formed type of random packing, with relatively small surface area per packed volume. Due to the low void fraction, pressure drop is quite high.

HiDur® Inert Balls are mainly used as catalyst carriers and flow straighteners at refineries and other petrochemical industries.
