R one tech engineering Industrieshas technical expertise in process and mechanical design of various Molecular Sieve Distillation Columns.
A molecular sieve is a material with pores / holes of uniform size. These pore diameters are similar in size to small molecules, and thus large molecules cannot enter or be adsorbed, while smaller molecules can. As a mixture of molecules migrate through the stationary bed of porous, semi-solid substance referred to as a sieve (or matrix), the components of highest molecular weight (which are unable to pass into the molecular pores) leave the bed first, followed by successively smaller molecules. The diameter of a molecular sieve is measured in nanometres (nm). It is used to achieve high purity and removal of water.
Methods for regeneration of molecular sieves include pressure change, heating and purging, or heating under high vacuum. Regeneration temperatures range varies depending on molecular sieve type.
