FLEXILITHTM Ceramic Structured Media
FLEXILITHTM HA (HIGH ALUMINA) Ceramic Media
Ceramic structured media combines the high heat capacity and low pressure drop of a honeycomb monolith shape with the chemical stability of the high alumina composition, making it particularly suitable for use in regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) and regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO) applications. FLEXILITHTM HA ceramic structured media is a cost-effective media for clean stream applications with effective particulate removal equipment upstream.
FLEXILITHTM CR (CORDIERITE) Ceramic Structured Media
FLEXILITHTM CR ceramic structured media provides the most economical alternative and highest value option to optimize the performance of a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) based on the lowest pressure drop provided by its unique geometry. With medium density, the FLEXILITHTM CR ceramic structured media provides a great solution for clean emission streams for effective particulate removal.
