what is the Application of 13X Molecular Sieves ?:
1.Removal of CO2 and moisture from air (air pre-purification) and other gases.
2.Separation of enriched oxygen from air.
3.Removal of mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide from natural gas.
4.Removal of mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide from hydrocarbon liquid streams (LPG, butane, propane etc.)
5.Catalyst protection, removal of oxygenates from hydrocarbons (olefin streams).
6.Removal of n-chained compositions from aromatics.
7.Production of bulk oxygen in PSA units.
8.Production of medical oxygen in small scale oxygen concentrators
what is the Regeneration for 13X Molecular Sieves ?:
Molecular sieve Type 13X Molecular Sieves 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 13X Molecular Sieves , a temperature of 250-300°C is required. A properly regenerated molecular sieve can give moisture dew points below -100°C, or mercaptan or CO2 levels below 2 ppmv.
The outlet concentrations on a pressure swing process will depend on the gas present, and on the conditions of the process
what is the Size for 13X Molecular Sieves ?
13X Molecular Sieves - 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”.
