Packaging Media is suitable for RTO applications.January 23, 2007 -
With media elements composed of corrugated ceramic sheets that are vertically aligned in RTO media bed, FLEXERAMIC® eliminates any horizontal surfaces that may create resistance to vapor flow. Geometric construction of structured media prevents trapping of incoming air particulates, decreases pressure drop across RTO bed, and helps reduce channeling of vapor. Product can also be used in mass transfer processes such as sulfuric acid production and chlorine drying.

Koch Knight LLC Introduces FLEXERAMIC® Structured Media for RTO Applications
One of the Lowest Pressure Drops of Any Ceramic Media on the Market
CANTON, Ohio. - Koch Knight LLC, a leading innovator in corrosion proof materials and environmental heat transfer equipment, introduces FLEXERAMIC® structured media for RTO applications. FLEXERAMIC media offer high capacity and efficiency while providing a lower pressure drop compared to random media on the market.
Designed for long-lasting performance, FLEXERAMIC structured media elements are composed of corrugated sheets of ceramic that are vertically aligned in the RTO media bed, eliminating any horizontal surfaces that may create resistance to vapor flow. This geometric construction dramatically reduces the channeling of vapor and provides for more effective contact of hot gases with the ceramic surface. This increased efficiency offers reductions in energy usage and opportunities to increase flow through the RTO bed, if desired. The lack of horizontal surfaces also minimizes the media's ability to trap particulates from the incoming air, and decreases the pressure drop across the bed.
After replacing existing random packed RTO beds with FLEXERAMIC structured media, users will notice a pressure drop decrease of at least 20 percent or more and improved efficiency, resulting in significantly lower energy costs for the RTO operation.
FLEXERAMIC structured media is also an ideal solution for mass transfer processes such as sulfuric acid production and chlorine drying, offering greater efficiency and lower pressure drop in chemical process applications, as well.
