Activated Alumina
White spherical activated alumina for industrial dehydration, adsorption and catalyst-support applications. Explore the product specification and discuss the appropriate bead size with Haina.
Activated alumina beads for drying and process adsorption.
Porous activated alumina adsorbs moisture on its internal surface. Bead size, operating conditions and regeneration determine which material fits the drying bed or process duty.
Product Overview
Industry Applications
01 · FACTORY UTILITIES
Industrial Compressed Air
Manufacturers use dry compressed air for instruments, pneumatic equipment and production lines. Activated alumina can be specified as the desiccant in compatible regenerative dryers.
The required pressure dew point, peak airflow and dryer design determine which bead size and grade to consider.
02 · NATURAL GAS
Gas Processing and Treatment
Gas processing and treatment facilities specify moisture limits to protect downstream equipment and meet delivery requirements. Activated alumina is one option for suitable gas drying duties.
Feed composition, moisture loading and the outlet requirement determine whether activated alumina is appropriate for the service.
03 · CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING
Chemical Manufacturing
Chemical manufacturers and catalyst developers evaluate porous alumina as a support for selected formulations. The material choice depends on the active phase and service environment.
Surface area, pore volume and bead strength are useful starting points for qualification. The photo shows a chemical plant environment.
Where Haina Fits
Industrial Compressed Air
Share inlet temperature, flow, pressure and target pressure dew point. Include your dryer’s regeneration method.
Gas Processing and Treatment
Provide a feed analysis and details of the current bed. Compare bead sizes for pressure drop and mechanical requirements.
Chemical Manufacturing
Request the current surface-area, pore-volume and crush-strength data to screen candidate beads.
