Applications: Multi-purpose. Molecular Sieve 3A is used for the dehydration and purification of various hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gas and liquid streams. Also used for the drying of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams such as cracked gas, propylene, butadiene, and acetylene. The use of 3A Molecular Sieve for ethanol production is becoming very popular. The 3A Molecular Sieve pore size excludes most hydrocarbon molecules from adsorbing, while allowing water adsorption.

4A Molcular Sieve Desiccant

Molecular Sieve 4A Desiccant is available in 4x8 and 8x12 bead sizes. Purchasing 4A Molecular Sieve 330 lb drums is the most cost effective, but we also offer 4A Molecular Sieve in 25 lb pails and 50 lb bags. Molecular sieve is a sodium aluminosilicate. It has a fixed pore size according to the material specified, a 4 Angstrom pore size being the most common (1 Angstrom - 3.94 x 10-9 inches) Because of its high comparative cost, it is normally used for special process applications. Pressure dew points to -100°F may be achieved with molecular sieve depending on the dryer design and operating conditions.

13X Molecular Sieve
Carbon Molecular Sieve

The carbon molecular sieve (CMS) is a sorbent desiccant that has no polarity. The primary purpose of carbon molecular sieve desiccant is to separate nitrogen from air. It has the performance to absorb oxygen in the air under changing pressure of normal temperature, so it can gain rich nitrogen gas. Traditional rich nitrogen in plant air is produced to adopt deep freezing method, that is to make air liquefy under low temperature, separate oxygen and nitrogen through rectification. Its most remarkable characteristic is that N2 has little impurity content, N2 concentration and air current can be adjusted according to the requirements, and can gain high purity N2 with less than 5ppm O2 content and lower than -60¡æ dew point through refine.
