Adsorbents for Cracked Gas Drying
For decades, ethylene production facilities worldwide have relied
upon UOP adsorbents for regenerative dehydration and trace contaminant
removal.
Our 3A EPG and EPG 2 products have been specifically developed for use in cracked
gas drying, where optimum adsorbent performance is critical. These molecular
sieve products are in continual enhancement in the key areas of stability,
dynamic capacity, break-up resistance, and low green oil and coke formation.
Collectively, these factors translate to longer adsorption cycles and increased
adsorbent life. These products are available in several pellet sizes, including
a TRISIV form, which optimizes system capacity while minimizing pressure drop.
UOP offers a multitude of specialty adsorbent products for the removal of other
contaminants such as mercury, ammonia, methanol, COS, H2S, and CO2. Because
the proper adsorbent selection is dependent upon your particular stream composition,
please contact us using our information request form to
discuss your specific needs.
You may already know that mercury can damage aluminum heat exchangers
and has been known to cause catastrophic equipment failure as a result. UOP's
HgSIV adsorbent is the only regenerative adsorbent product that has been used
commercially to remove mercury from ethylene and cracked gas streams. Since
you can use HgSIV adsorbent to both dehydrate and remove mercury, this solution
typically requires no additional capital cost. The HgSIV adsorbent can be loaded
into existing adsorption vessels.
UOP’s integrated approach addresses your needs by identifying the best
combinations of adsorbents, particle sizes and choice of location in your process.
By doing so, we are able to deliver an optimized solution to meet your purification
requirements. Contact us today using our information request form to
