The preferred Molecular Sieve adsorbent for dynamic dehydration
in a closed gas or liquid system. Used commercially for general gas
drying, air plan feed purification (simultaneous removal of H2O and
CO2) and liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas sweetening (H2S and
mercaptan removal). A modified sodium form of Zeolite.
Type 13X is used commercially for general gas drying, air plant
feed purification (simultaneous removal of H2O and CO2) and liquid
hydrocarbon and natural gas sweetening (H2S and mercapstan
removal). All molecules which can be adsorbed on molecular sieves
3A, 4A and 5A can be adsorbed on Type 13X. In addition,Type 13X can
adsorb molecules of larger critical diameters, such as aromatics
and branched-chain hydrocarbons.
