13X Molecular Sieve
Description: An alkali metal alumino-silicate, in the sodium form of the Type X crystal structure. Type 13X will adsorb molecules with critical diameters up to 10 Å angstroms. All molecules which can be adsorbed on Molecular Sieve types 3A, 4A, and 5A can be adsorbed on type 13X.
Applications: Multi-purpose. Used for the dehydration and purification of various hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gas and liquid streams.
- Drying and sulfur compound removal from natural gas, LPG, and other petrochemical liquids and gases.
- NH3 and CO2 removal from gas streams
- Drying and CO2 removal from air.
Regeneration: Type 13X molecular sieve can be regenerated for re-use by purging or evacuating at elevated temperatures. The degree of regeneration (water removal) is dependent on the temperature and humidity of the purge gas.
- Using a dry purge gas at an inlet temperature of 200-350°C and a pressure of 0.3 ~ 0.5 kg/cm², heat the molecular sieve bed. As the temperature in outlet reaches 150 ~ 180°C, let the bed cool off.
Handling and Storage: Product must be stored in a dry location (relative humidity < 90%) to prevent re-adsorption of water. Opened packages should be resealed to prevent contamination of the product. Whenever possible, rotate stock to use oldest material first.
