Most of the industries require 100 water-free
Ethanol. The finally manufactured alcohol is a
rectified spirit with almost 94.6 alcohol and
the remaining percentage is water. It is very
difficult to remove the amount of water in
alcohol using any straightforward and simple
distillation process. Therefore, a special 3
angstrom molecular sieves dehydration process
needs to be carried out using latest technology
to manufacture the absolute alcohol. In the case
of ethanol, water is extracted by making it
dehydrated with the help of adsorbent structure
of molecular sieve 3A. The potassium-based
molecular sieve pore size of 3a is 3A0 or 3
Angstrom, it cannot adsorb all molecules which
having the pore size is large then 3A. 3A
molecular sieve can be available in beads,
pellets and powder form.

• BENEFITS

• It is simple and easy to automate the process,
  thus reduces labor and training costs.
• This dehydration process is easy to handle as not
  a single type of chemical is used in it. The
  workers can easily keep them away from any kind
  of endangered as it does not hold any material
  handling or liability issues.
• In addition to ethanol, a well-designed and
  manufactured sieve is not only used to dehydrate
  the ethanol hydrated vapors but is highly useful
  for dehydrating other types of chemicals too.
  Thus, gives a facility to use this system in
  future operations as well.
• Molecular sieve 3A has an extensive possible
  service life except for failure due to mechanical
  destruction. A properly designed system can work
  for ethanol dehydration process for more than 5
  years.
• It can be worked as an individual system or can
  be incorporated with the distillation system.
  This helps customers to get the benefits of
  maximum functional flexibility and energy
  efficiency.
• An accurately designed molecular sieve can be
  easily dehydrated 160-proof to 190 proof of
  ethanol consistently.

APPLICATIONS - ZEOLITE 3A

• Ethanol Drying
• Insulating glass units
• Dehydration of gases, oils, and liquids
• Cracked gas and olefin drying
• Drying of Ethane-Ethylene
• Drying organic liquids (kerosene, hexane,
  benzene, cyclohexane, propylene, methanol,
  ethanol, isopropanol, etc.)
• Drying and purification of inert gas

The powder desiccants have the power to
effectively adsorb the molecules on the basis of
their size and polarity. They are used for
removing moisture from polyurethane polymer
systems. It also works as a carrier to discharge
the catalysts into certain systems. Unlike other
hazardous acid catalysts, zeolites are
regenerable, non-hazardous and non-corrosive as
well. These properties make it a valuable
desiccant for various applications. 3A and 4A
molecular sieve powder can be used for EPOXY
paints resins, metallic pigments/ZINC paints, etc.
