AF38™ media has significantly larger individual void spaces than traditional saddles, providing improved resistance to particulate fouling/plugging. Its unique design orientates the void space vertically, providing for easier wash outs, if necessary.  Thermal efficiency is similar to 38 mm (1.5”) saddles, but with a 25-30% lower pressure drop.

Saint Gobain NorPro supplies a variety of low pressure drop bed topping materials. These include the traditional graded beds of Denstone® ceramic support media, but also advanced materials and shapes that are under constant development.
