Rapid Adsorption Kinetics
CMS 350KT is a carbon molecular sieve with the pore mouth controlled narrower than 10 Angstrom for rapid oxygen capture during the pressurisation stroke. Oxygen at 3.46 Angstrom enters the pellet at several times the rate of nitrogen at 3.64 Angstrom, supporting a 40 to 90 second cycle at 7 to 10 barg adsorption pressure.
The rapid pressurisation and depressurisation profile reduces the air consumed per cubic metre of nitrogen produced. BET surface holds approximately 1100 m2/g, bulk density 0.60 to 0.66, moisture at supply below 1.0 percent.
Industrial Duty Coverage to 99.99 Percent
- Oil and gas pipeline purging, pressure testing, pre commissioning
- Petrochemical reactor blanketing and downstream tank inerting
- Chemical process blanketing across batch and continuous duty
- Food and beverage packaging and bottle headspace inerting
- Pharmaceutical processing at the standard high purity range
- Metal heat treatment, welding shielding, bright annealing
Cycle Window
- Cycle time 40 to 90 seconds
- Adsorption pressure 7 to 10 barg
- Operating temperature 5 to 50 deg C
- Feed air ISO 8573 class 1.4.1 or better
- Moisture at supply below 1.0 percent
- Pellet size 1.0 to 2.2 mm, selected to PSA package geometry
SorbiTech engineering supplies cycle validation data with every charge and supports operator commissioning where the original PSA package was tuned to a different grade.
Low Dust Formation in Service
Robust pellet shape resists fragmentation at the bed velocities the rapid cycle imposes. Low dust formation protects the downstream coalescing filter, product line valves, and analytical instrumentation that confirms outlet purity. Pellet integrity is verified per lot against the dynamic cycle test.
