The issue of molecular sieve dehydration: is it possible to reduce water levels from 5000 ppm to 500 ppm?
Thread Content
Our company is engaged in the recycling of waste organic solvents. Our current product is propylene glycol methyl ether, with a water content of 0.5%; we would like to reduce this water content to 500 ppm. I was wondering if molecular sieves can be used for this purpose, and if there are any manufacturers that supply complete systems for this task.

Perhaps equipment similar to vacuum spray drying could be considered
Does vacuum spray drying take up a lot of space?
Have you come across any related cases? I would appreciate some guidance.
