Heat Transfer Media

FLEXERAMIC® Ceramic Structured Packing

Our structured and random media can resolve your RTO problems, like pressure drop, energy usage, alkali attack, particulate accumulation or a combination of issues.


Competitive Advantages

  • FLEXERAMIC© structured packing provides 35% lower pressure drop as compared to 1″ ceramic saddles at the same gas flow
  • Reduced bed depth
  • Minimize plugging
  • Maximize gas distribution in the bed
  • Increase capacity in the unit
  • Reduce fuel costs
  • Lower pressure drop
  • Utilize entire bed instead of a fraction

Conditions: based on two 8’ deep beds with 70°F inlet, 1500°F combustion, and 180 second switch time. Fuel is natural gas with 0% excess combustion air added.

We are a market leader in structured media with geometrically arranged corrugated sheets offering improved operation over saddle random media. Our proprietary media designs provide greater resistance to fouling than random or monolithic media.
