Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. A molecular sieve is a material with pores of uniform size. These pore diameters are of the dimensions of small molecules, thus large molecules cannot be absorbed, while smaller molecules can. Many molecular sieves are used as desiccants. Some examples include activated charcoal and silica gel. Molecular sieves are synthetically produced zeolites (naturally occurring aluminosilicate minerals), and are characterized by pores and internal cavities of extremely uniform dimensions. These crystalline materials have three-dimensional structures based on silicon oxide (SiO4) and aluminum oxide (AlO4) polyhedra. The polyhedra are linked by their corners to produce an open structure with internal cavities in which molecules can be trapped. These materials are engineered so that access to the internal cavities is through specific and uniform sized pores.This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of molecular sieves dryer-adsorption. It covers the processes and functions of molecular sieves including thermal swing drying and different types and sizes available. The course will also cover the different types used in natural gas drying and how is molecular sieve drier designed. At the completion of the course, participants will be able to identify the potential problems and implement its preventive measures; employ safety during removal of used molecular sieves from the adsorption vessel; apply 3A type acid resistant; H20 removal; regeneration curves; as well as identify liquid carryover problems in dryers and piping of dryers.
