Adsorbents for Dehydration of Petrochemical Streams
You can use UOP activated alumina and molecular sieve adsorbents in
multiple locations for the dehydration of gaseous and liquid petrochemical
streams. They can help protect catalysts, prevent equipment corrosion,
meet product specifications, and prevent cryogenic processes from freezing
up. We can provide you with effective designs and commercially proven
adsorbent products, and we’ll work with you to help you select
the optimal adsorbent for each of your applications.
Petrochemical streams are typically more reactive and can contain contaminants
that may not be native to naturally occurring fractions of these streams. Because
of these factors, generic products often do not work as well as advertised.
UOP is well positioned to address your processing needs and deliver the adsorbents
to handle your particular stream.
UOP’s spherical activated aluminas are used in a variety of gas and liquid
drying applications. These products have a high surface area and are resistant
to abrasion. Their excellent adsorption and desorption characteristics make
them especially suitable for heatless (pressure swing) dryers where the desiccant
is subject to harsh mechanical conditions.
