BASF 13X Molecular Sieve
BASF 13X Molecular Sieve is a synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate with a regular micropore structure.
Zeolite Structure Pore Faujasite type (FAU) 9 A
Size Chemical (0.9 nm)
Formula Na2O . Al2O3 . m SiO2 . n H2O (m < 2.35)
Product Applications
BASF 13X Molecular Sieve is a highly selective adsorbent designed for the elimination of trace contaminants from air, other gases and liquids. It can also be used for the desulphurization (sweetening) of natural gas and other fluids, especially for the removal of mercaptans, and for drying of gases and liquids.
Another field of application for BASF 13X is the non-cryogenic oxygen enrichment from air using pressure (vacuum) swing adsorption (PSA/VPSA) technique.
Regeneration
Regeneration of BASF 13X Molecular Sieve may be carried out by increasing the temperature and/or reducing the pressure or using a suitable purge gas, respectively.
Packaging
- 216 L (135 kg) air tight steel drums
- Polypropylene liner equipped big bags of different sizes (450 - 850 kg net)
