Catalyst Carrier For Ebullating Bed

Catalyst Carrier For Ebullating Bed

Catalyst Carrier
The alumina carrier produced by the company with advanced technology has a large specific surface area, a large pore volume, and a higher strength. YingChuan spherical catalyst carrier strength is far higher than the domestic average level, which effectively prolongs the service life of the catalyst and saves a lot of economic costs for the enterprise.

Product Description

Heavy-Duty Hydroprocessing Support

Catalyst Carrier for Ebullating Bed Reactors

Engineered with exceptional attrition resistance and optimized spherical geometry to withstand the severe continuous fluid dynamics of ebullating-bed residue upgrading units.

Attrition Loss
≤ 1.0 wt% (Low Dusting)
Crush Strength
≥ 120 N/particle
Surface Area
140 – 220 m²/g
Sphericity
≥ 0.95 Uniform Sphere

Designed for Extreme Dynamic Environments

In ebullating bed (expanded bed) reactors, catalyst carriers face intense, continuous back-mixing and particle-to-particle collisions driven by high-velocity liquid and gas upflow.

Our carrier is manufactured using specialized densified sintering and surface-hardening technology. This prevents particle deformation, minimizes attrition loss, and ensures stable bed expansion behavior without excessive carryover or plugging.
