APPLICATION KNOW-HOW

Designed for the plant,

not for the catalog.

Whether emission control catalyst or ceramic heat storage media: At Ceram, specialists for both disciplines work under one roof. We know that understanding the unique operating conditions and requirements of each application is critical to ensuring successful field performance.The design follows the process, not the catalog.

WHAT SETS US APART

Design as core competence.

Different applications require different solutions. our experts work together with the customer to design the optimal solution. The work does not begin with the product, but with the process: identifying the process conditions and the performance requirements. Whether emission control or heat storage, Ceram provides the expertise to design the right product for each application.

  • Two disciplines under one roof: Experts in catalytic emission control and ceramic heat COLLABORATE in the same facility. Our clients benefit from the combined experience of both disciplines.
  • Plant-specific design: Each plant is designed based on its specific operating data, not from a standard catalog. Ceram's design expertise extends beyond standard configurations. Our solutions are engineered for project-specific circumstances.
  • Collaborative solution development: We develop solutions together with the customer, starting from the actual plant and process conditions through to the appropriate design and configuration.

DETAILED DESIGN

Different sizes, the same standard.

Our products are used in a variety of applications, but all of our designs begin at the same point: the specific operating data of the plant. precise understanding of the process determines the quality of the solution.




Catalysts

We design plate and honeycomb catalysts for emissions reduction with a focus on SCR and related technologies. Our designs are tailored to the gas composition, temperature, and flow conditions of the plant.

EXAMPLE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR SCR CATALYST

Gas flow (Nm³/h)
Temperature NOx reduction
Temperature SO₂/SO₃ conversion
Inlet NOx
SO₂ / SO₃
H₂O · O₂ · CO₂
Particulates / Dust
Velocity/temperature distribution
NO₂ fraction




Ceramic Heat Exchangers

Design of regenerator beds and heat storage media for RTO systems and energy storage systems, taking into account temperature swing, thermal efficiency, and permissible pressure drop.

EXAMPLE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR HEAT STORAGE MEDIA

Raw gas volume (Nm³/h)
Inlet temperature (Tin)
Combustion chamber temperature (Tox)
Cycle time
Thermal efficiency η
Max. pressure drop / chamber
Heating rate (°C/min)
Bed dimensions / number of honeycombs
Chamber type · hot gas bypass
Operating mode (cont./discont.)
VOC · dust · corrosive components
