Molecular Sieve for Natural Gas Separation
OozeChem offers high performance molecular sieve for natural gas separation designed to meet the rigorous demands of the oil & gas industry. Our adsorbents are engineered to deliver exceptional removal of water, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and other contaminants from raw natural gas streams, ensuring system protection and downstream gas purity.
Whether you’re operating gas processing plants, pipelines, or LNG systems, our molecular sieves provide the efficiency and durability required for continuous high throughput operation.
Why Use Molecular Sieves in Natural Gas Processing?
Molecular sieves are synthetic zeolites used to selectively adsorb polar molecules from gas mixtures. In natural gas, this includes:
Water vapor
It prevents hydrate formation and freezing
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
It is used to avoid corrosion and meet LNG specifications
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)
Used for safety and regulatory compliance
Product Features
High adsorption capacity for H₂O, CO₂, and H₂S
Thermal and mechanical stability for high pressure systems
Low attrition rate, ideal for cycling operations
Rapid regeneration via heating or pressure swing
UAE based inventory ensures fast, regional delivery
