NorPro has released BauxLiteTM, a new proppant developed jointly by the Stow, Ohio (USA) site, the Saint-Gobain Proppants production team in Fort Smith, Arkansas (USA), and the Northboro R&D Center, Massachusetts (USA).  BauxLiteTM differs from other proppants in terms of its customized density.  Because of its light weight and its competitive price, BauxLiteTM enables oil and gas drilling companies to reduce their costs.  Proppants are ceramic beads the size of a grain of sand, manufactured at high temperatures and able to withstand extreme pressures.  These beads are injected into the underground fractures around oil and gas wells to boost their output. For more information, visit

steam reforming is used in the industrial synthesis of ammonia and methanol from natural gas or other feedstocks.  A variety of refractory materials are required in the primary reformer, secondary reformer and waste heat boiler of ammonia plants and in the methanol reformer of methanol plants.  Ceramic bed support media are required in the feed desulfurizer, secondary reformer, high and low temperature shift reactors, methanator and dryers. In ammonia production, the hydrogen rich atmosphere of the secondary reformer requires high purity alumina refractory products.  Saint-Gobain refractories are widely used in the linings of secondary reformers and are approved by the major design and engineering companies. Saint-Gobain has the expertise to design, engineer and manufacture refractory systems for most of your demanding high temperature applications.  For further information, select the link  for Ammonia and Methanol Processing (.PDF). Contact Us for more details regarding material properties and discussion of your specific application and service conditions. www.norpro.saint-gobain.comwww.refractories.saint-gobain.com   http://www.oilandgas.saint-gobain.com/event_detail.aspx?id=236196http://www.oilandgas.saint-gobain.com/event_detail.aspx?id=236196Tue,
