It has a high surface area which adsorbs vapors without any change in form. Will not soften or disintegrate easily when immersed in water.

Dew points to -40°F and lower may be achieved depending on dryer design and operating conditions.

The 1/8” (2-5mm) bead is the size most frequently used in regenerative dryers.

The 3/16” (4-8mm) bead is used when pressure drop and surface area requirements fall between 1/8” and 1/4” material.  It is suitable for most systems.

The 1/4” (5-10mm)  is used both as a pre-bed material to support large desiccant beds or as a buffer for silica gel beads. Pressure drop is slightly lower than 1/8” (25mm) material. 

If size is not known or specified, the 1/8” (2-5mm) size is usually satisfactory.

Surface area is in the range 345-415. Because it has a higher capacity for water than Silica Gel at elevated temperatures it is mainly used as a desiccant for warm gases including air. In many commercial applications zeolitic materials have now replaced it.
 
Application:
Purification of gases and liquids (removal of metallic traces, TBC and HF compounds).
Drying of organic liquids such as LPG, propylene, butene, steam cracked liquids, cyclohexane, gasoline, chloro- and fluorohydrocarbons, aromatic solvents.
Drying of air and gases such as steam cracked gases, catalytic reforming recycle gas, synthesis gas, natural gas, CO2.
Drying of organic liquids as LPG, aromatics, steam cracked liquids, gasoline, chloro- and fluorocarbons.
Drying of air and gases as steam cracked gases, catalytic reforming recycle gases, synthesis gases, methyl chloride, natural gas, LNG, etc.
Drying of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, CO2, etc.
Purification of gases and liquids (removal of metallic traces, BF3, TBC, HCl, HF and fluorinated hydrocarbons).
Catalyst for Claus conversion in sub dew point processes.
Air drying (PSA, TSA)
Instrument air, supersonic wind tunnel, compressed air
Gas drying Air separation plants, inert and rare gases, Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, CO2.
Natural gas in production and compression plants, LPG, LNG.
Aromatics, naphtha cuts and cracked gas.
 
Silica Gel: We manufacture silica gel blue, white and orange beads and crystals for the moisture-adsorbing process from industrial air, gases and any product packaging.


Molecular Sieves Beads/Pellets: This desiccant can easily remove impurities from many industrial and natural gases, solvents & liquids.

The types of molecular sieves desiccants offered by Sorbead India include 3A, 4A, 5A, and 13X molecular sieves, carbon molecular sieves, and molecular sieve powder, which are available in the form of beads, pellets, and powder.


Carbon Molecular Sieve: Sorbead India offers qualitative carbon molecular sieves, especially for nitrogen generation PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Plants. N2 Purity: 99.99%

Molecular Sieve Powder: Zeolite powder is an excellent moisture scavenger for polyurethane coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers. It is in powder form.

Product Benefits:

  1. High adsorption capacity. With high surface area and excellent pore distribution, has a high water adsorption capacity. This reduces initial cost, energy consumption and operating costs through smaller bed sizes and/or longer operating cycles.
  2. Low abrasion. Insures less dusting during tower depressurization or loading. Low abrasion means low pressure drop and a reduced chance of plugging the afterfilter.
  3. Resists liquid water. Water slugging due to upstream failure of aftercooler, separators or drain traps will not fracture. The adsorption capacity of the desiccant can be restored after complete regeneration.
  4. High crush strength. High crush strength, which limits dusting, is important during loading of desiccant towers. High crush strength makes effective as a prebed material when used with other types of desiccants.
  5. Uniform bead sizes. Is a uniformly sized bead. It provides low pressure drop to minimize channeling and ensures utilization of the full bed column section.
