Molecular Sieves

Molecular sieves or Zeolite are normally used in the process of drying gases and liquids. Molecular sieves are a crystalline composition with uniform pores that is measured in angstroms. This composition makes molecular sieve more effective than other types of desiccants. These desiccants are extremely effective in removing water from liquids and gases and are even more effective than silica gel. Because of their crystalline composition they can create virtually water free products. The sieves are very useful in cryogenic operations where liquefaction of gases is required and water must be eliminated to avoid freezing. These sieves are used for drying gas streams within the petroleum industry, they are also used to dry solvent within a laboratory along with an extensive range of catalytic applications. Additionally molecular sieves are used in a great many air and liquid filtration scenarios.
