HF-200

HF-200 is a smooth, spherical alumina which has proven to be useful in removing free HF and organic fluorides from HF alkylation product streams. Its excellent physical strength, low abrasion loss, and low silica content help extend the service life and minimize valve plugging.

HF-200XP

HF-200XP are promoted alumina spheres for improved fluoride scavenging. By minimizing carbon buildup and coking, they have higher fluoride loading and greater conversion rates. The outstanding properties include uniform ball size, low silica content, and low dusting.

CL-750

CL-750 is a spherical surface modified adsorbent, custom formulated to provide optimum adsorption of HCL for vapor and liquid phase process streams. It also eliminates problems generated by water washing of process equipment chloride deposits.

CL-760

CL-760 is a spherical surface, promoted chloride adsorbent. It is customized to provide optimum adsorption of HCl from vapor and liquid phase process streams. Its high macroporosity improves diffusion rates to assure high HCl adsorption capacity.

CL-850

Proprietary spherical microporous adsorbent, custom formulated to provide optimum adsorption of organic chlorides from vapor and liquid phase process streams.

D-1275E

D-1275E is a quadrilobe extrudate nickel adsorbent. It is primarily used for removing trace amounts of sulfur compounds that escape the hydrodesulfurization process. Its large Surface area provides maximum pick-up of sulfur with a reduced pressure drop across the fixed bed reactor.

DD-431

DD-431 is a high Surface area activated alumina sphere with tailored pore size distribution to enhance Claus reaction activity through increased diffusion rate and surface activity.

E-315

E-315 sorbent is formulated on a proprietary spherical alumina support to remove arsine and sulfur compounds from hydrocarbon streams.

F-200

F-200 is a smooth sphere of activated alumina that is an excellent desiccant for a wide variety of liquid and gas drying. Its properties include uniform ball size, high crush strength, low abrasion, and high adsorptive capacity.
