KC-Trockenperlen W

Extreme temperature stable adsorbent, also known as Sorbead 22
BASF KC-TrockenperlenW is an exceptionally robust adsorbent designed specifically for the removal of hydrocarbons from liquid oxygen during cryogenic air separation.
The patented BASF KC-Trockenperlen line of highly efficient adsorbents are alumino-silicate gels in the form of hard, spherical beads, with a very high resistance to crushing and a low attrition rate. KC-Trockenperlen adsorbents have a longer life than most other adsorbents and can reduce operating costs in most applications.
KC-Trockenperlen W is typically used for the operation of cryogenic air separation plants. Liquefied air must be treated from traces of undesired hydrocarbons, for example acetylene. KC-Trockenperlen W is distinguished by its high thermal stability at extreme temperature changes during adsorption/desorption (below –100°C/above +80°C).
Also, KC-Trockenperlen W has a very high attrition resistance that prevents the generation of dust that can seriously impact air separation unit performance.
