How to remove moisture from activated carbon
Thread Content
The current process uses activated carbon for the adsorption of propylene and steam stripping; however, the high water content in the activated carbon results in high energy consumption. I’m seeking advice from experts – are there any better methods for removing water?
If it can be taken out, a dryer will suffice~~ You can make one yourself or buy one ready-made~~ If online drying is necessary, a regeneration circuit can be set up, along with a heater, and a stream of regeneration gas should be provided (the lower the dew point, the better)~~
There is a drying device online, but it’s not possible to reduce it
Is regenerated gas steam? ~~If the water content is high, then of course~~
I thought of using contaminated nitrogen, but there is no air separation plant near the company
For people like you, having an air compressor is more than enough~~ There’s no need to dehydrate the activated carbon to such an extreme degree~~
Heater + air purification dehumidification. The dew point for air purification is definitely the lower, the better!
Add a small gauge compressor system as your regeneration gas
Try using a vacuum pump with a slightly higher capacity
Earlier, the use of vacuum pumps was discussed, but the manufacturer does not recommend this approach
Is a dew point meter used for detection? I can help you take a test
