The specification data represent our standard product specifications. What is the difference between Carbon Molecular Sieves CMS 260 with CMS 330?The main difference between Carbon Molecular Sieves CMS 260 and CMS 330 lies in their pore size and adsorption properties. CMS 260 typically has a smaller pore size compared to CMS 330, which means it is more selective for smaller molecules such as nitrogen. This makes CMS 260 well-suited for applications where low-purity nitrogen is required, as it can effectively separate nitrogen from other gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. On the other hand, CMS 330 has a larger pore size, which allows it to adsorb a wider range of molecules. This makes it suitable for applications where a broader range of gases needs to be separated in high purified. In summary, the key difference between CMS 260 and CMS 330 lies in their pore size and selectivity, with CMS 260 being more selective for smaller molecules like nitrogen, while CMS 330 has a broader adsorption capacity. The choice between the two types of CMS depends on the specific gas separation requirements of the application.Standard packaging:137 kg, net weight plastic drum20 kg, net weight plastic drumm

Adsorption Materials for Compressed Air Systems & Gas Separation

For compressed air systems and compressed air treatment, we offer advanced adsorption materials that meet the demands of modern industrial applications. Our high-quality solutions support air dryers, O2/N2 generators, and activated carbon adsorbers. From molecular sieves to carbon molecular sieves, we offer materials tailored for reliable and long-lasting performance.

What Are Molecular Sieves and How Do They Work?

Molecular sieves, also known as "mol sieves," are materials that can selectively adsorb molecules of specific sizes due to their finely porous structure. The microscopic pores, typically only a few angstroms wide, allow for the separation of specific molecules from gases and liquids. This feature makes molecular sieves ideal for applications like moisture regulation in compressed air systems or gas separation in oxygen and nitrogen generators. Learn more about the functionality and chemistry of mol sieves in the Wikipedia article on molecular sieves.

Properties and Types of Molecular Sieves

The properties of molecular sieves include high adsorption capacity, thermal stability, and selectivity towards specific molecules. These adsorption materials are often made from zeolites or aluminosilicates, offering longevity and high efficiency.

Molecular Sieve 3A, 4A, and 5A: Differences and Applications

Molecular Sieve 3A: Best suited for selective water removal, especially in alcohols or applications where only water needs to be removed.
Molecular Sieve 4A: Suitable for general water removal in gases and liquids, with some versatility in adsorbing small molecules like CO₂.
Molecular Sieve 5A: Generally less ideal for pure water removal as it’s designed to adsorb both water and larger molecules such as hydrocarbons.

For pure water removal, 3A is typically the best choice where selectivity is crucial, while 4A offers a good balance for general drying purposes with broader application possibilities.

Regenerating and Drying Molecular Sieves

A significant advantage of molecular sieves is their reusability through the regeneration process. During use, molecular sieves adsorb moisture and other gas molecules, eventually exhausting their capacity. However, targeted heating or pressure reduction allows these molecular sieves to regenerate and be ready for further cycles. This regeneration process is particularly essential in molecular sieve drying, as the sieves can be repeatedly reused without losing efficiency. This keeps drying reliable and cost-effective, especially beneficial for moisture control in industrial applications.

BERG Adsorption Materials: Molecular Sieves and Carbon Molecular Sieves

Our selection of molecular sieves and carbon molecular sieves (CMS) covers all standard applications, offering specific advantages for various industrial needs.

Molecular Sieve 4A, MS4

Molecular sieves 4A – MS4 play a crucial role in adsorption dryers as they effectively remove moisture from gases and liquids. These sieves consist of sodium aluminosilicate with uniform pore sizes of around 4 angstroms, selectively adsorbing water molecules while excluding larger impurities. The MS4 formulation enhances adsorption capacity and kinetics, improving efficiency and drying cycle speed. With their large surface area and thermal stability, molecular sieves 4A not only deliver optimal performance but also contribute to energy savings by reducing regeneration frequency. Their reliability and effectiveness make them indispensable in various industrial applications where moisture control is critical. We primarily use them for heat-regenerated air adsorption dryers and desiccant air dryers (cold adsorption).

Zeolite ZEO 13X

Zeolite Type ZEO 13X is an effective adsorption material used in oxygen generators. It acts as a molecular sieve, separating oxygen molecules from other gases in the air by adsorbing nitrogen and other gases. This process generates a stream of pure oxygen, essential for various applications. ZEO 13X is crucial in medical settings for patients needing pure oxygen and is also employed in industries like welding and metalworking, where high oxygen concentrations are required. ZEO 13X is widely recognised for its reliability and efficiency in producing pure oxygen.

Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS)

Carbon molecular sieves (CMS) such as CMS 260, CMS 330, and CMS 360 are widely used in nitrogen generators. These materials are excellent for removing oxygen molecules from compressed air, generating high-purity nitrogen. Each CMS type – 260, 330, and 360 – has a unique pore size distribution that allows for customisation to specific nitrogen purity requirements. CMS 260 is best suited for applications requiring very pure nitrogen, while CMS 330 and 360 are more versatile for general nitrogen production. Known for their efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness, these CMS types are popular in industries such as food packaging, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. By effectively separating nitrogen from other gases, CMS 260, 330, and 360 ensure a reliable supply of pure nitrogen for various industrial processes.

Activated Carbon Adsorbent in Carbon Towers

We also provide activated carbon adsorbent in carbon towers as spare parts, a porous form of carbon with a large surface area and numerous pores. This structure allows for effective adsorption of gases and pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odours, and impurities. The high adsorption capacity of activated carbon makes it a reliable solution for improving industrial air quality and ensuring clean, healthy environments.
