Molecular Sieves - Superior Performance for Drying and Dehydration

Molecular Sieves are aluminosilicate adsorbents made from zeolite, a porous material in powder form that can be shaped into beads or pellets through binding with clays.

This structure provides a highly active surface area for selective adsorption of polar molecules small enough to enter the pores

Molecular sieves are available in types like 3A, 4A, 5A, and 10/13X, tailored for specific applications. They are used in both static (non-regenerative) and dynamic (regenerative) systems.

Advantages

• High water adsorption capacity.
• Exceptional performance at elevated temperatures.
• High mechanical strength and low attrition.

Applications

Static Applications

• Insulating glass, polyurethane formulations, and polymers for packaging.

Process Applications

• Dehydration of ethylene and hydrocarbon streams.
• Removal of carbon dioxide, chlorides (e.g., HCl), and mercaptans.
• Gas separation and oxygen generation.
