SNOWPEAK® Ethanol Molecular Sieve

In ethanol production, using molecular sieve to remove water is the most popular method. Compared with other ethanol dehydration processes, the advantages of molecular sieves are: simplicity, low installation cost, easy operation, environmental protection, etc. SNOWPEAK developed molecular sieves specifically for ethanol dehydration in the 1990s, which are used to dry ethanol produced from edible feedstock, cellulosic feedstock, and synthetically produced ethanol.

Regeneration

SNOWPEAK ethanol molecular sieve can be purged and regenerated by increasing the temperature, regeneration (dehydration) degree depends on the humidity and temperature of the purging gas.

Water removal: Heat dry gas such as nitrogen, air, hydrogen, saturated hydrogen carbide to 150-320℃, then pass it into the molecular sieve bed under the pressure of 0.3-0.5kg/m2 for 3-4 hours, and then pass the dry cold gas into the adsorber for 2-3 hours, isolate the air and cool it to room temperature.

Organic removal: Replace the adsorbent from the molecular sieve by water vapor, and then heat. Or pass into hot vapor or inert gas at the in 200-350°C, not use gases that produce explosive mixtures by contact with the adsorbent.

Gas removal: reduce the pressure
