BIPC is an inert polymer in the form of cylinders. It has been especially designed for use in packed
or partially packed and fluidised beds operated in the up-flow counter-flow mode. The polymer has
optimum specific gravity. It can improve the distribution of regenerants during the downflow
regeneration stage.
BIPC can also be used in down flow processes with upflow regeneration, where it protects the
strainers during the regeneration and improves the flow distribution during service.
