Molecular Sieve (3A-EPG)

 3A adsorbent, a potassium-exchanged form of the type a molecular sieve, is an alkali metal aluminosilicate. 3A adsorbent will adsorb molecules with critical diameters up to 3 angstroms type.

Application:
3A-epg adsorbent is preferred for commercial dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams, such
As cracked gas, ethylene, propylene, and cracked liquid olefins. The small pore size of 3A-epg adsorbent essentially prevents co-adsorption of hydrocarbons.
