Each cylinder contains a high-technology molecular sieve
adsorbent material designed to remove the dissolved water
from the oil. DryKeep® molecular sieve beads combine
the highly selective adsorption properties of Zeolites with
high mechanical integrity due to advanced manufacturing
and de-dusting technologies. After synthesis, each Zeolite
crystal is only a few microns across. To be of use in our
fixed bed adsorption processes, it is necessary to form
particles in a specific diameter. Expertise in molecular sieve
beading has led to the optimized bead properties used in
the DryKeep® system. Special binders are applied to the
beads giving our molecular sieves a high stability against
contaminants in the feed stream, thus allowing a long unit
lifetime.
