Process Scale Alumina

Process Scale Alumina — Reliable Performance for Industrial Applications

Process scale alumina is one of the most widely used adsorbent and support materials in large-scale chemical, petrochemical, and environmental operations. Known for its strength, stability, and surface chemistry, alumina plays a central role in purification, drying, and catalyst support. At Sorbent Technologies, we provide high-quality alumina products designed specifically for process-scale applications, helping our customers achieve consistent, cost-effective results.

Why Alumina?

Alumina (Al₂O₃) offers a unique balance of properties that make it ideal for industrial separations. First, it has a large surface area, which allows for efficient adsorption of contaminants and moisture. Next, it delivers strong thermal and mechanical stability, enabling it to withstand the high temperatures and pressures common in process environments. In addition, alumina is chemically versatile, making it compatible with a wide variety of solvents, feedstocks, and process conditions.

Common Applications

Because of these strengths, process scale alumina is widely applied in multiple industries. For example, it is used for drying hydrocarbons and gases, ensuring streams remain moisture-free and stable. It is also applied in catalyst support, where its porous structure helps disperse active components and extend catalyst life. Furthermore, alumina is an effective choice for removing polar contaminants, such as halides, acids, or unwanted byproducts, from liquid and gas streams. Finally, it plays a role in wastewater treatment and metal recovery, helping facilities meet environmental regulations while capturing valuable resources.
