What are Molecular Sieves? Molecular Sieves 3A, 3-4mm (0.12-0.16in) Pellets are high-performance adsorbent materials used for drying, separation, and purification processes. Made from synthetic zeolite, these molecular sieves have a pore size of 3 angstroms (Å), making them ideal for adsorbing small molecules, such as water and certain gases. They are commonly referred to as 3A Molecular Sieves and are widely used in industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. The 3-4mm pellet form provides an efficient and easy-to-handle option for various adsorption applications, where precise and selective moisture control is critical.

Consistent Quality: We use only carefully sourced Molecular Sieves, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for a wide range of industrial, chemical, and manufacturing applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in chemical-resistant, non-toxic containers to guarantee safe handling and maintain product integrity during shipping.

Frequent Uses

Gas and Liquid Drying
Highly effective in drying gases and liquids by adsorbing water molecules. They are commonly used in the petrochemical industry, particularly in the purification of natural gas and in the drying of hydrocarbons. These sieves are also used in air drying, where they efficiently remove moisture from compressed air and other gases.

Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Applications
In the pharmaceutical industry, Molecular Sieves are used for the drying and purification of solvents and active ingredients. They are essential for maintaining the stability of moisture-sensitive compounds and are used in the production of tablets, capsules, and other drug formulations.

Food and Beverage Processing
Widely used in the food and beverage industry to remove trace amounts of moisture from sensitive ingredients, such as oils, flavourings, and preservatives. By ensuring low moisture content, they help improve the shelf life and quality of food products.

Chemical and Petrochemical Applications
Frequently used in chemical and petrochemical processes to purify liquids and gases, removing unwanted moisture, carbon dioxide, and other contaminants. Their selective adsorption properties make them ideal for use in processes such as solvent recovery, gas separation, and liquid desiccation.

Hydrogenation and Catalysis
In industrial catalytic processes, they are used to control the moisture content of gases, ensuring optimal conditions for hydrogenation reactions and other catalytic processes. They are also used in separation and purification applications where precise moisture removal is necessary.

Environmental Applications
Plays a key role in environmental management by purifying air and water in various industrial settings. They are used in the filtration of exhaust gases and in the treatment of waste streams to ensure compliance with environmental regulations regarding moisture content and contaminant removal.

  • Used in the dehydration, separation, drying, and purification of ethanol in distilleries.
  • Used in transformer oil dehydration system.
  • Used for solvent drying in pharmaceutical plants.
  • Used to dry pyrolysis gases in the process of ethylene manufacturing.
