What is Molecular Sieve? Molecular sieves are synthetic zeolite materials engineered with pores of precise and uniform structure and size. This allows them to preferentially adsorb gases and liquids based on molecular size and polarity. Zeolites are naturally existing, highly porous crystalline solids, belonging to the class of chemicals known as aluminosilicates. There are four […]

How is 3A and 5A made from 4A Molecular Sieve? Molecular sieve starts out as powder. The powder is then combined with a binding material. This allows the powder to be rolled into beads. These beads are partially dried at 600-700 degrees F, which turns them into a ceramic. In addition, all molecular sieve starts […]

Adsorbent Product Highlight: 13X Molecular Sieve 13X molecular sieve is of the type X crystal, as opposed to the type A crystal of the 3A, 4A, and 5A molecular sieves. The 13X crystal can be seen in the picture above. However, the 13X molecular sieve is similar to the 4A in that it has sodium […]

Compressed Natural Gas Drying Using compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicle fuel is a growing phenomenon in the US. The high cost of gasoline is not the only driving force for CNG growth. New natural gas sources including the massive amounts of natural gas reserves found in the various shale formations all over the US […]
