Medaad supplies alumina support media under the DuraStone range for industrial applications, and provides responsive technical and commercial support during the quotation stage. With supply coverage across the Middle East and export capability for international projects, Medaad helps customers source reliable inert alumina balls aligned with plant and project requirements.
Alumina Support Balls
Alumina support balls are high purity alpha alumina beads used as catalyst support balls and catalyst bed support media in fixed bed systems. These inert alumina balls are specified for chemical processing, gas purification, and environmental systems where reliable performance is required under extreme operating conditions.
DuraStone Al 99 is a Medaad grade developed for exceptional mechanical strength and thermal stability. Uniform sizing helps minimize pressure drop in packed bed systems, while a robust structure supports durability and helps reduce maintenance and operational costs. Extremely low porosity and high inertness help minimize unwanted side reactions. Minimal silica leaching helps reduce contamination risk and protects the catalyst from poisoning.
