Air separation units (ASUs) are the backbone of industries requiring high-purity gases like oxygen and nitrogen, fundamental to sectors ranging from healthcare and manufacturing to electronics. The efficient operation of ASUs relies on advanced adsorbent materials capable of removing critical impurities, namely water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), before cryogenic distillation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. specializes in providing high-capacity 13X molecular sieve adsorbents that are vital for the optimal performance of these units.

In the cryogenic process of air separation, even minute amounts of moisture and CO2 can cause significant problems. As air is cooled to very low temperatures, water can freeze into ice crystals, and CO2 can solidify, leading to the formation of solid blockages in the heat exchangers and distillation columns. These blockages can drastically reduce the efficiency of the ASU, necessitate costly downtime for defrosting, and potentially damage sensitive equipment. The 13X molecular sieve, with its large pore size of 10 Angstroms, is expertly designed to capture these molecules effectively, ensuring the incoming air feed is exceptionally dry and free of CO2.

The superior adsorption capacity and excellent mass transfer rates of the 13X molecular sieve make it an ideal choice for the pre-purification stages of ASUs. It can handle large volumes of air and achieve very low dew points and CO2 concentrations, often below 2 ppmv. This level of purification is critical for maintaining the continuous and stable operation of the separation process, guaranteeing the production of high-purity oxygen and nitrogen that meet stringent industry specifications.
