Desiccant
Desiccant overview Desiccant  Silica gel desiccant and other desiccant types adsorbs moisture from gas through a chemical reaction. Different desiccant adsorb more than others based on process conditions. For example activated alumina is an excellent moisture adsorber when the relative humidity is 100%. It can adsorb up to 40% its weight at 100% relative humidity. However its efficiency declines as the relative humidity falls. The most common desiccant types used to dry compressed air are...There are various grades of each type and they are available in a large variety of shapes and sizes. Fluid Energy Industrial has vast experience selecting desiccant to cost-effectively dry gas streams and can help you find the best drying solution. Contact us at 704-846-2999 or email us to discuss an optimized desiccant solution for your application. Activated Alumina
Activated alumina is an excellent all-purpose desiccant for drying air and most other gases with high relative humidities. Dewpoints of -100°F can be achieved (depending on dryer). Activated alumina can be used in both heated and heatless / pressure swing dryers. Activated alumina has: excellent porosity creating tortuous paths and extended surface area; high strength against crushing; and very stable physical and chemical characteristics, even in high temperature and corrosive environments.

Contact us at 704-846-2999 or email us to discuss an optimized desiccant solution for your application. A Fluid Energy sales engineer can work with you to select a cost-effective desiccant solution that meets or exceeds your drying requirement. Certified service technicians are also available to change your dryer's desiccant and perform all other service. Silica Gel
Silica gel desiccant is a very effective desiccant for drying air and often used to dry natural gas. Silica gel desiccant has excellent static adsorption at mid inlet relative humidity.  Due to its uniform bead size and high bulk density silica gel beads minimize nesting and channeling within the dryer. Large volume drying applications use silica gel because it offers premium drying performance and an energy cost savings compared to other desiccant.Silica gel is odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive, with stable chemical and thermal characteristics.  Interconnected pores form a vast surface area, silica gel can adsorb moisture 40% or more of its weight at 100% humidity.

Molecular sieve is most effective for applications with low inlet flows and low relative humidities, (less than 30-35%RH). A common molecular sieve application is working as a polishing layer to achieve dew points down to -120°F, and in applications for drying hydrocarbons and other exotic gases. Molecular Sieve is a combination of optimized desiccant materials including: sodium potassium and calcium alumina silicate. The actual combination of materials varies depending on the product. Fluid Energy offers a wide selection of molecular sieve to meet the requirements of different drying applications. Molecular sieve is non-toxic and insoluble to water and most organic solvents. Because molecular sieve can provide the lowest possible dewpoints it is used in the most demanding and unique drying applications. Molecular Sieve
Carbon Molecular Sieve - for use with nitrogen gas generators. Separates oxygen from compressed air resulting in high quality nitrogen effluent.
