Brown Fused Alumina for Catalyst Carriers

A stable, high-purity support material for catalytic processes in chemical and petrochemical industries.

Brown fused alumina used in catalyst support applications

Why Use BFA for Catalyst Support Media?

Brown fused alumina offers chemical inertness, thermal stability, and mechanical strength—making it a reliable substrate for catalytic coatings. In applications like hydrocracking, reforming, and sulfur recovery, BFA provides an excellent porous framework to anchor active catalytic compounds without degradation under high-temperature or corrosive environments.

  • High alumina content (>95%) for thermal and chemical resistance
  • Excellent crush strength and consistent particle shape
  • Customizable particle size distributions for controlled porosity

Typical Applications in Catalyst Systems

  • Support media in fixed-bed chemical reactors
  • Carrier base for metal oxides, zeolites, or precious metals
  • High-temperature exhaust and flue gas treatment beds

Used in refining, petrochemical, and environmental emission control systems.

Recommended Particle Sizes

  • Macro carrier beds: 2–4 mm or 3–5 mm granules
  • Micro-layered catalyst bases: F100–F220 powders
  • Support media blending: Mixed grit or spherical granules available

We offer tailored sizing and surface treatments depending on catalyst compatibility.
