13X MOLECULAR SIEVE
Our 13X molecular sieve products are multiple purpose, highly porous, high capacity alkali metal alumino-silicates in the spherical form. They are the sodium form of the Type X crystal structure with pore diameters of approximately 10Å. They can adsorb all molecules that can be adsorbed by 3A, 4A, and 5A molecular sieve. Type 13X can also adsorb molecules such as aromatics and branched-chain hydrocarbons, which have large critical diameters.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- General Gas Drying
- Concurrent Removal of H2O and CO2 from Gas and Air Streams
- Sweeten Natural Gas and Liquid Hydrocarbon Streams by Removing H2S and Mercaptans
- Separation of N2 from O2
- PSA Oxygen Units

HANDLING & STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Store 13X molecular sieve in a dry location to prevent premature water adsorption. Reseal packages after opening to prevent contamination and unintended water adsorption. We recommend that you rotate stock so oldest material is used first.
