Ceramic balls are generally used for catalyst bed support for oil refining, petrochemical and natural gas applications. The product is often used in the temperature range of 100°C to 500°C. Most of desulphurization systems in oil refineries use this kind ceramic ball. It is a standard item for the desulphurization process. Products of these specifications are produced from high quality chemical–porcelain clay, which has excellent stability, high crushing strength and resistance to thermal shock.
