KC-Trockenperlen H
High-performance silica gel adsorbent

BASF Sorbead H is a high-performance, extremely robust silica gel adsorbent primarily used for control of hydrocarbon dew point in compressed natural gas.
The BASF Sorbead line of highly efficient adsorbents is an alumino-silicate gel formed into hard, spherical beads ¨C having a high resistance to crushing and a low attrition rate. Sorbead adsorbents have a longer life than most other adsorbents and can reduce operating costs in most applications.
BASF Sorbead H is used for controlling dew point and recovery of heavy hydrocarbons from
natural gas. Simultaneously, Sorbead H dehumidifies the natural gas. Sorbead H is protected from liquid condensation by approx. 20% of Sorbead WS.
