Porcelain Super Saddles Description
Porcelain Super Saddles are the most frequently used high-performance packing which exhibits advantages for most applications in comparison with other packing of different shapes. Ceramic super saddles’ smooth surface imparts a high chemical resistance and provides them with a high level of stability. Due to their simple form, our Porcelain Super Saddles can be produced at a relatively low cost.
Porcelain Super Saddles are used in water treatment, petrochemicals, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, air purification, wastewater treatment, biotechnology, and oil & gas for separation, purification, and filtration processes.
