Molecular Sieve 3Å

889 has facilities that produce a wide range of molecular sieves to meet the requirements set by our clients.
It includes 3Å, 4Å, 5Å, PSA-H (5A-98 TYPE), 13X and NaY.

Description

A type of crystal structure potassium and aluminosilicate of alkali metal. It can adsorb molecules which critical diameter is not more than 3Å.

Application

Widely applied in the drying process of natural gas and petroleum gas, especially in advanced drying of gases including petroleum pyrolysis gas, ethylene, propylene, butadiene, acetylene and liquids such as ethanol and acetone.

Regeneration

By increasing the temperature, it is capable of regeneration through the course of ventilation or exhaust.
• Regeneration temperature: 180-350°C
• Regeneration time: 3-6 hours.
