Description
This activated alumina desiccant 3/16" desiccant is shipped in a 2,000-pound bulk bag / super sack. Our activated alumina is a highly porous ceramic compound that can absorb both gases and liquids without changing form or disintegrating. Activated alumina is often used to absorb water from the air and fluoride from drinking water. In addition, activated alumina can be regenerated. If heated to approximately 200 F, the absorption process is reversed, and the aluminas will release the water it has absorbed.
Activated alumina is mainly used in gaseous and liquid desiccation in the petrochemical industry. It is also widely applied as a dryer in the textile industry, the making industry, and automatic instruments and equipment with non-heat regeneration. Our customers typically use activated alumina desiccant in compressed air dryers to remove moisture from compressed air lines and protect equipment and/or processes.
