Siliporite® for Natural gas processing
Natural gas is produced in wet conditions and must be dried to protect downstream equipment via Temperature Swing Adsorption process. In some cases sulfur compounds, CO2 & methanol must also be removed. Siliporite® molecular sieves offer a wide range of pore sizes (3Å, 4Å, 5Å, 13X) to address those types of impurities.

Selective drying
Benefits of using Siliporite® molecular sieves
Natural gas is produced in very wet conditions and must be dried to protect the compression equipment. When liquefied the moisture requirements are even more stringent. Siliporite® molecular sieves are widely used to dry natural gas to very low dew points. We have developed a wide range of molecular sieves to address the diversity of issues encountered in drying natural gas.
