13x Molecular Sieve Desiccant For Oxygen Generator Typically Used In Healthcare
Introduction
Molecular sieve 13x is used for drying and purifying the oxygen to make it useful for inhalation. You can also say that this desiccant helps people to breathe in a pure and better way.It operates by passing the surrounding air through the molecular sieve available in the form of beads and pellets. 13X has the ability to separate the oxygen from nitrogen and provides a flow of pure oxygen of up to 94% – 95%. 13X molecules have larger adsorption capacity as compared to Type A oxygen making molecular sieve. It can increase the profits of producing pure oxygen by decreasing the operating costs and energy consumption.
Molecular sieve for oxygen generator with the help of PSA process is used from the last several years to produce the highly pure oxygen for the patient’s ambulatory medical use. They are widely used in removing CO2 natural gas and LPG, for separating enriched oxygen from air, for removing oxygenates from hydrocarbons etc. The dew point of oxygen generated by PSA process is -50 to -75 degree Celsius based on the size of the oxygen generator. Generate PSA rich oxygen with the help of the sodium form of the type X crystal successfully.

Regeneration:
Molecular sieve Type 13X can be regenerated by either heating in the case of thermal swing processes; or by lowering the pressure in the case of pressure swing processes.
To remove moisture from a 13X molecular sieve, a temperature of 250-300°C is required. A properly regenerated molecular sieve can give moisture dew points below -100°C, or mercaptan or CO2 levels below 2 ppm.
The outlet concentrations on a pressure swing process will depend on the gas present, and on the conditions of the process
Attention
Pls avoid damp and pre-adsorption of organic before running, or it must be reactivated.
