Fracking Gas: The Role of Molecular Sieves

No Comments
Fracking Gas: The Role of Molecular Sieves For humans, dehydration is a very bad thing, but for Natural Gas (methane), nothing could be better! Natural Gas cannot be overloaded with water vapor because that adds unnecessary weight (mass) and takes up volume, which decreases the efficiency of our transportation methods.

The Role of Co-adsorption Molecular Sieve Manufacturing All Type A molecular sieve originates as Type 4A zeolite crystals. These 4A zeolite crystals can be treated to an ion exchange to create 3A or 5A molecular sieve. To create Type 3A zeolite, larger potassium ions exchange for smaller sodium ions within

How to Optimize Dehydration Units

Molecular Sieve Process Optimization Featured in Biofuels International, May 2015 (volume 9, issue 3) Molecular sieve dehydration of ethanol uses a specialized molecular sieve to remove the water from the distillation/rectification of ethanol and water. Distillation can only remove water to approximately 5% of the total composition. Molecular sieve consists of tiny zeolite
