Ceramic Saddle
Product No: TPU®-CS
TPU® Ceramic Saddles (equivalent
to Koch-Glitsch CERAMIC INTALOX SADDLES) are between the ring shape
and the shape of the saddle, and therefore maintain both their
advantages; this structure is conducive to the liquid gas
distribution. Ceramic saddles are most frequently used
high-performance packing and exhibit advantages for most
applications in comparison with other shapes. Their smooth surface
imparts a high chemical resistance and provides with a high level of
stability. Due to their simple form, ceramic saddles can be
manufactured by continuous extrusion method and can be produced at a
relatively low cost.
Applications:
Ceramic Saddles are
widely used in Scrubbers, Drying Towers, Tail Gas Scrubbers, Impasse
Towers, absorption tower, cooling tower, scrubber, and regeneration
tower. Also widely used as heat transfer media in Regenerative
Thermal oxidizers (RTO).
