Xintao 13X APG Molecular Sieve for Cryogenic Air Separation Trusted by Middle East Client
A leading Middle Eastern supplier of cryogenic air separation medical and industrial gases, with over 40 years of experience in the gas business, has placed a repeat order for Xintao’s 13X APG Molecular Sieve and Activated Alumina for Cryogenic Air Separation.
This follow-up order in 2023, coming four years after the initial sample purchase in 2019, demonstrates strong client trust in Xintao’s product quality and performance for critical cryogenic air separation applications.
The Important Role of Adsorbents in Cryogenic Air Separation
In Cryogenic Air Separation (CAS) technology, compressed air is first passed through an air purification unit containing adsorbents. Here, impurities such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen oxides are effectively removed. The clean air then undergoes compression, cooling, and expansion processes, allowing for the condensation and separation of its components, ultimately yielding high-purity oxygen exceeding 99.5%.
Molecular sieve plays a key role in the oxygen production of cryogenic air separation technology. Its main purpose is to remove impurity gases in the air and make oxygen more pure. At the same time, molecular sieves can also absorb moisture in the air, improve the working environment of cryogenic equipment, and increase the operating efficiency and life of the equipment. In the selection of molecular sieves, molecular sieve models with strong adsorption capacity, good physical and chemical stability and high reproducibility are usually selected, such as XINTAO molecular sieve 13X APG, etc.
Xintao Adsorption Solutions for Superior Performance
XINTAO 13X APG Molecular Sieve is specially engineered for the co-adsorption of CO₂ and H₂O in cryogenic air separation plants. It offers larger adsorption capacity and faster adsorption kinetics, effectively preventing bed icing. It is suitable for all scales and types of air separation units worldwide.
XINTAO activated alumina has an extremely high capacity for any liquid that may be present in the feed stream and can hold more than 20% of its weight in liquid. Can be used as absorbent, desiccant and catalyst carrier. It is also a trace water desiccant and polar molecule absorbent, which has strong adhesion to water, oxides, acetic acid, alkali, etc. according to the polarization of the absorbed molecules. It can be widely used in pyrolysis gas, deep drying of ethylene and propylene, hydrogen production, air separation, instrument air drying and fluorine treatment of H2O2. It can also be used to adsorb H2S, SO2, HF, paraffin and other pollutants in the industry.
