Molecular sieve zeolites are interesting class of micro porous crystalline inorganic compounds. They have molecular dimensional pores/channels and depending on their composition they may have ion exchange properties also. These materials are thermally stable over a wide range of temperatures. Due to unique properties of zeolites, they find applications in catalytic and separation process and act as hosts for many active agents. Depending on the pore size, each zeolite will discrimination towards molecules entering into it. The effective pore size of each zeolite further depends on the labile cations present in its structure
3A Molecular Sieve
Molecular Sieve Type 3A, the potassium form of the type A crystal structure, is an alkali metal alumino-silicate. Available in spherical and pellets for commercial dehydration of various streams such as cracked gas, propylene, butadiene and acetylene. Type 3A is also used for drying polar liquids such as methanol and ethanol

5A Molecular Sieve
Type 5A is the calcium form of molecular sieves. It will absorb those molecules having a critical diameter of less than 5 angstroms such as H2S, light Mercaptans Methanol, Ethane, and Propane, as well as species adsorbed by 3Å and 4Å. This product is also effective for the bulk separation of normal and iso-paraffin hydrocarbons.

13X Molecular Sieve
13X is a sodium type molecular sieve, with a larger pore diameter than type A. It will adsorb those molecules with a critical diameter of less than 10 angstroms. Such as Chloroform, Carbon Tetrachloride, and Benzene
One of the most common application of 13X molecular sieves is in industrial oxygen concentrators. These machines produce their oxygen by using air compression and valving to pass room air through a 13X molecular sieve comprising a container which holds the sieve material as a sandy type of substance

Activated Alumina
Activated alumina is a high surface area and highly porous form of aluminum oxide that can be employed for contaminant species adsorb from gases or liquids without changing its form. It has an exceptionally high volumetric capacity for any liquids that may be present in the feed stream. The most common application of activated alumina is as a protective layer at the inlet of many gas-phase molecular sieve beds
Additionally, it can be used in the drying of various streams when complete dryness is not necessary while high thermal and mechanical resistance is required.

Mercury Removal Adsorbent
Mercury occurs naturally and is present in many of the world’s natural gas fields. Concentrations have increased from single-digit part-per-billion levels in localized areas of the world, to thousands of parts-per-billion in many of the world’s gas reservoirs. when mercury present in gas processing facilities, it can be a primary cause of corrosion, equipment failure, and downstream catalyst deactivation.
Our high capacity mercury adsorbents are engineered using a metal-based active component finely dispersed across a high pore volume substrate. This high capacity leads to infrequent change-outs and a longer lifespan, minimizing the cost of mercury removal over time.

Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS)
Carbon molecular sieves (CMS) are a special class of activated carbons. However, the pore size distribution of these materials is not always strictly discrete and furthermore, molecules are not hard spheres; they can sometimes squeeze into narrow pores. The main distinction is that activated carbons separate molecules through differences in their adsorption equilibrium constants, in contrast, an essential feature of the carbon molecular sieves is that they provide molecular separations based on the rate of adsorption rather than on the differences in adsorption capacity. This behavior is clearly evident in pressure swing adsorbers (PSA) where gas dynamics dominate. The separation of nitrogen from air by PSA is the single most important application of CMS
