Molecular Sieves Type 13X

Noble Molecular Sieves Type 13X, the sodium form of the Type X crystal structure is an Alkali metal alumino-silicate. Type 13X will adsorb molecules with critical diameter up to 10 angstroms.

Noble Molecular Sieves Type 13X is used commercially for general gas drying, air plant feed purification (Simultaneously removal of H2O and CO2) and liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas sweetening (H2S and mercaptans removal). All molecules which can be adsorbed on Molecular Sieves Type 3A, 4A & 5A can be absorbed on 13 X.

Noble Molecular Sieves Type 13X can be regenerated for re-use by purging or evacuating at elevated temperatures. The degree of regeneration (water removal) is dependent on temperature and humidity of the purge gas, normally a temperature of 180 - 240°C is required. A properly regenerated molecular sieves can give moisture dew points up to -80°C, or mercaptan or Co2 levels below 2 ppmv. 

Molecular Sieves Spherical Beads is having higher surface area for better adsorption with great crushing strength for reducing the dusting in the system.

Noble Molecular Sieves Type 13X is available in Cylindrical Pellets (1.5 mm and 3.0 mm) & Spheres Form (1.6 x 2.5 mm & 2.0 x 4.0 mm).
