Mol Sieve Dehydration Units | Transtech Fabrication

CUSTOM FABRICATED MOLECULAR SIEVE DEHYDRATION UNITS

TransTech's custom fabricated Molecular Sieve Dehydration Units (‘Mol Sieves’) utilize solid molecular sieve desiccants to effectively remove water (and in some cases H2S) from the natural gas stream—preventing hydrate formation and corrosion in downstream equipment.

SUPERIOR DRYING RESULTS

Favored in applications that demand superior drying results, our Mol Sieves eliminate water vapor to 0.1 ppm( and lower) and areideal for preparing the gas stream for use in cryogenic applications. Additionally, our Mol Sieve Units can accommodate higher inlet gas temperatures and large flow variations, making them robust and flexible solutions for an array of needs. Indeed, Mol Sieve Units are also commonly found upstream of NGL extraction plants and LNG plants.

EFFICIENT, CONTINUOUS OPERATION

Our Molecular Sieve Units utilize multiple molecular sieve beds to support continuous operations by rotating beds through a fixed cycle of adsorption (treating) and desorption (regenerating). As beds become saturated, they are heated to remove the impurities adsorbed on the molecular sieve during the treating phase.

Our standard MSDU package includes two or more matching mol sieve units. In our simplest two-unit design, one of these units operates in treating mode with the other in regeneration mode. Once the unit in treating mode becomes saturated, it reverts to regeneration mode while the freshly regenerated unit becomes active in treating mode.
