Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Activated alumina is an aluminum oxide bead with an extremely porous structure and high surface area-to-mass ratio. Activated alumina has a wide variety of applications, including compressed air and gas drying.
In compressed air and gas drying applications, activated alumina will achieve dew points -40. F to -100? F, depending on the dryer design.
In compressed air desiccant dryers, a 1/8_ (2-5 mm) activated alumina bead is most commonly used. The _? (5-10 mm) activated alumina bead is typically used as a pre-bed for supporting large desiccant beds or as a buffer for silica gel beds. The 3/16_ (5-10 mm) bead is used when pressure drop and surface area requirements fall between the 1/8_ and _? material.
Features and Benefits

High adsorption capacity for reducing initial cost, energy consumption, and operating costs
Low abrasion for ensuring minimal dusting and a low-pressure drop
Resistant to liquid water slugging resulting from the failure of upstream after-coolers, separators, or drain traps.
The adsorption capacity of the desiccant can be restored after complete regeneration.
