Saint-Gobain NorPro’s Pentarings provide a substantial improvement in pressure drop when used as bed topping media in a graded bed instead of the traditional use of sphere-shaped media.
Pentarings are a dense media which allows for sufficient hold down capabilities, while having a high void fraction and increased surface area to provide a significant reduction in pressure drop.
Due to their unique shape, Pentarings have:
22% increase in void fraction over spheres
Improved flow distribution
Increased capacity for trapping large particulates
Pentarings are also offered in a variety of sizes to fit your needs.
