Where T-46 Is Used
PROX-SVERS T-46 Alumina Balls sit beneath the catalyst bed in synthesis gas and ammonia reactors, wherever high temperature and high water partial pressure conditions put downstream catalyst at risk from silica leaching.
Typical applications include:
- Secondary Reformers and ATRs (Autothermal Reformers) in ammonia and synthesis gas production
