Description
Activated Alumina can be restored to its original adsorption efficiency by heating the desiccant to any temperature from 350° to 600°F (177° to 316°C). When the desiccant is heated as described above, the water stored in it is released, which enables the Activated Alumina filters to be reused over and over again.
Typical applications:
compressed air dryers
water purification to remove fluoride, arsenic and selenium
removal of degradation acids from transformer oils, lubricating oils, and refrigerants
natural gas drying
liquefied natural gas drying
Activated Alumina is extremely effective for drying gases and is very stable physically and chemically, even in high temperatures and corrosive environments. It is most frequently used for compressed air dryers, because of its cost effectiveness in relation to the other types of desiccant. With its high surface area, high moisture capacity, and high crush strength, the desiccant beads can easily withstand the saturated conditions that are found within an air compressor.
Activated Alumina works as a desiccant through adsorption, so as air passes through the desiccant beads, the water in the air sticks to it and becomes trapped, enabling the air that passes through the activated alumina filter to become dried out. Even if immersed in a liquid, the beads will not fall apart or soften.
