UOP MOLSIV™ 3A EPG Adsorbent

short description:

UOP 3A EPG adsorbent, a potassium-exchanged form of Type A molecular sieve, is an alkali metal alumi- nosilicate. 3A EPG adsorbent will adsorb molecules with critical diameters up to 3 angstroms.

Applications

3A EPG adsorbent is preferred for commercial dehydra- tion of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams, such as cracked gas, ethylene, propylene, and cracked liquid olefins. The small pore size of 3A EPG molecular sieve essentially prevents co-adsorption of hydrocarbons.
