Sorbead adsorbents - Saluran Pasifik

1 Sorbead adsorbentsExtending moisturecontrol, productquality and processlife cyclesBASF Sorbead portfolio Sorbead Ris the standard within the BASF Sorbeadproduct suite. It has the widest range of adsorptive dryingapplications as well as being economical to use. BASFS orbead R is best suited for drying compressed air, gases,natural gas and liquefied high capacity and low regeneration temperature demandsmake Sorbead R more effective and less expensive thanother adsorbent options. Value-added benefits include: Above average drying capacity Durable and dependable with high mechanical strength Continued effectiveness even when regeneration is takingplace with moist gas at relatively high temperatures Like other Sorbead products, Sorbead R can beregenerated by applying heat (approximately 100 to 160 C) or pressure swingSorbead WSis the only water-resistant, high-capacity,porous silica gel. It can be used in extreme operating con-ditions to control moisture, such as in heat-of-compressionair dryers which provide the most energy efficient way ofdrying compressed air.

2 More commonly, BASF SorbeadWS is added as a 20 percent protective layer to guardSorbead R and Sorbead H against water attack, thereby,increasing the lifetime of these adsorbents even in thedampest moisture monitoring is required, Sorbead OrangeCHAMELEON offers maximum process Sorbead Orange CHAMELEON is used in viewingwindows in drying plants, transformer air-dehumidifiersand laboratories ( drying towers, U-tubes, exsiccators).An environmentally-friendly indicator, with enhancedfunctionalities based on patented CHAMELEON technology, turns the Sorbead pearls from orange totranslucent when humidity in the surrounding air haspassed a certain threshold. However, it continues to adsorbwater from this point until reaching its maximum Sorbead Orange CHAMELEON is regenerated, itregains its orange color and is fully BASF Sorbead adsorbents play a dynamic rolein a range of drying and other processes, such as: Dynamic drying:Temperature-swing and pressure-swing processes Static drying:Insulating glass, desiccant bags, and exsiccators Drying filters:Transformer dehumidifiers, coolant drying cartridges, and standard laboratory devices such as U tubes Automotive, chemical, naturalgas processing, metal processingindustry as well as power stationsNatural gas processingElectricaland packagingindustries,powerstationsandlabo ratoriesPlant construction, insulatingglass, manufacture, chemical,steel and fertilizer industriesSorbead portfolio and various applicationsIn addition to drying natural gas, Sorbead Hsimultane-ously recovers heavy hydrocarbons (C6+).

3 These heavyhydrocarbons can condense and plug natural gas pipelinesas well as other equipment, especially in combinationwith humidity. Adsorption with Sorbead H reduces thehydrocarbon and water dew point of natural gas to levelslower than achievable with most other technologies. Aswith other Sorbead adsorbents , it is regenerated byapplying is recommended to add a 10- to 20-percent protectivelayer of Sorbead WS to Sorbead H to protect it againstliquid Sorbead formulationsBASF can design and supply a variety of specialtySorbead formulations to conform to specific productionrequirements. Grain size, pore volume, pore diameter,specific area and chemical compositions can beengineered into unique Sorbead of customized Sorbead formulations include: Sorbead AF125 and AF25: These aluminum-freegrades are designed for drying acetylene and unsatu-rated hydrocarbons. Sorbead AF25 is added to a 20percent protective layer of Sorbead AF125 which iswater-resistant. Sorbead 22: An exceptionally hard adsorbent which is designed specifically to remove acetylene from liquidoxygen during cryogenic air separations.
