Summary

For the removal of water and carbon dioxide from the intake air of air separation plants, Linde molecular sieve systems have proven out as the design standard in close to 500 air separators constructed around the world. During recent years, major advances cover the following modifications implemented in molecular sieve stations: increased height of beds, longer run times, layered beds containing specific adsorbents, replacement of internal by external insulation, radial-flow adsorbers for high air flow rates. This last point is specially discussed and the main kinds of adsorbers (vertical axial-flow, horizontal, radial-flow) are reviewed. J.V.
