Molecular Sieve for Ethanol Dehydration mSORB® 3A EDG

mSORB® 3A EDG is the ethanol-specific 3A molecular sieve product for producers who need reliable water removal after distillation, stable cyclic performance, and supplier support for dehydration media selection and replacement.

Designed for demanding cyclic adsorption systems, mSORB® 3A EDG provides the selectivity, durability, and adsorption performance ethanol producers need to maintain product quality, reduce dehydration risk, and support stable plant operation.

Product Description

3A Molecular Sieve Designed for Ethanol Dehydration

Ethanol can be concentrated by conventional distillation only up to the ethanol-water azeotropic limit. Beyond that point, additional dehydration is required to remove residual water and produce anhydrous ethanol suitable for fuel blending and industrial use.

mSORB® 3A EDG is a 3A molecular sieve product designed specifically for ethanol dehydration service. Its pore structure allows water molecules to be adsorbed while larger ethanol molecules pass through the bed, enabling selective water removal without relying on additional distillation.

Chemical Formula: KnNa12-n[(AlO2)12(SiO2)12] · xH2O
