Activated Alumina is available in uniform ball sizes from 3/16" to 1/4" in bulk quantities. Custom sized orders available.
Industrial Applications for Activated Alumina:
1. Pressure swing adsorption and other packaged dryers.
2. Instrument and low pressure air-drying.
3. Scavenging of HF, BF3 from alkylation feed stock.
4. Reconditioning of mineral oils like transformer or insulating oils.
5. Water defluoridization.
6. Removal of oil vapor mist from compressed air.
7. Dehumidification in food and pharmaceutical industries.
8. Drying of organic liquids to a moisture level of 10 ppm or below.
9. Drying of practically all inorganic gases such as Air, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, Chlorine etc. and organics use acetylene, ethane, Ethylene, Freon, etc.
10. Drying of various liquids such as Benzene, Carbon, Tetrachloride, Chlorobenzene, Ethyl Acetate, Transformer oil, Vegetable oils etc.
Advantages of Activated Alumina Desiccants:
1. HIGH MOISTURE CAPACITY: The high surface area and excellent pore distribution combine to give ECA activated alumina desiccant a high water adsorption capacity. Using an ECA activated alumina desiccant can reduce capital costs, energy consumption, and operating costs through smaller bed sizes and/or longer operating cycles.
2. SMOOTH BEADS/ LOW ABRASION: Ensures LESS DUSTING during tower loading and depressurization. Low abrasion means lower pressure drop and less chance for plugged or clogged pore orifices, valves or filters due to dust carryover. (LOW PRESSURE = LOW DUSTING = BETTER PERFORMANCE)
3. UNIFORM SIZE = LOW PRESSURE DROP In a packed bed, ECA activated alumina provides a low pressure drop which minimizes channeling and maximizes utilization of the whole drying capacity of the tower.
4 UNAFFECTED BY LIQUID WATER: Water slugging due to upstream failure of aftercoolers, moisture separators, drain traps or filters will not fracture ECA activated alumina desiccant. Adsorption capacity of saturated desiccant can be restored after a complete regeneration cycle.
5. HIGH CRUSH STRENGTH: ECA activated alumina desiccant limits dusting when loading air dryer towers. A high crush strength makes activated alumina a good pre-bed material for use with other types of desiccants in mixed desiccant air dryer towers.
