Typical Application  Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, propylene, butadien)  Cracked Gas Drying Drying of natural gas, if COS minimization is essential, or a minimum co-adsorption of hydrocarbons is required.  Drying of highly polar compounds, such as methanol and ethanol Drying of liquid alcohol Static, (non-regenerative) dehydration of insulating glass units, whether air filled or gas-filled. Drying of refrigerants

Regenerationmolecular sieve Type 3A can be regenerated by either heating in the case of thermal swing processes; or by lowering the pressure in the case of pressure swing processes. To remove moisture from a 3A molecular sieve, a temperature of 200-230°C is required. A properly regenerated molecular sieve can give moisture dew points below -100°C.The outlet concentrations on a pressure swing process will depend on the gas present, and on the conditions of the process.

Size 3A - Zeolites are available in beads of 1-2 mm, (10x18 mesh) 2-3 mm, (8x12 mesh) , 2.5-5 mm, (4x8 mesh) and as powder, and in pellet 1.6”, 3.2”.

AttentionTo avoid damp and pre-adsorption of organic before running, or must to be reactivated.
