3A molecular sieve named Potassium A (3A) molecular sieve, the bore diameter is 3A, Mainly used for water absorption, can absorb critical diameter 3A molecular, can not absorb any molecular which diameter is no greater than 3A molecular. According to the application on the industrial characteristics,it has the faster absorption,more regeneration frequency,a higher crushing strength and ability to resist pollution,improve the utilization efficiency of the molecular sieve and prolong the service life of the molecular sieve,it’s the first desiccant to use in deepth dry, chemical refined and polymerization in oil and gas industrial.

a) Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, propylene, butadien)
b) Cracked Gas Drying
c) Drying of natural gas, if COS minimization is essential, or a minimum co-adsorption of hydrocarbons is required.
d) Drying of highly polar compounds, such as methanol and ethanol
e) Drying of liquid alcohol,CNG.
f) Static, (non-regenerative) dehydration of insulating glass units, whether air filled or gas-filled.
g) Drying of CNG.
To avoid damp and pre-adsorption of organic before running, or must to be reactivated.
