In the refineries and petrochemical sector, oil refineries employ a range of ethylene and other hydrocarbon sources to produce a variety of products, many of which are polymer-based. Ethylene and propylene are the most common raw materials widely used in the petrochemical sector.
However, these industries face several challenges, including the need to manage impurities, control and maintain proper moisture levels, and comply with the strict environmental regulations and compliances of the industry standards. High amounts of impurities in raw materials can lead to lower product quality and increased operational costs. And moreover, excess levels of moisture can cause corrosion in equipment and affect the efficiency of chemical processes, causing production delays and various safety hazards.
To overcome these challenges, premium-quality adsorbents and desiccants are essential. These materials help remove moisture and impurities from gases and liquids during processing, ensuring that products meet high-quality standards. And by effectively controlling humidity levels, adsorbents can efficiently prevent corrosion and damage to equipment, improving the quality of products and their operations.
Top Solutions for Petrochemical & Refineries Industries
To tackle the many problems and challenges, the petrochemical and refinery industries use various adsorbent and desiccant moisture solutions to maintain the optimal quality of their products as well as maintain the smooth functioning of their various processes.
In these sectors, managing moisture is of high priority because excess water, vapour, and moisture levels can lead to corrosion, equipment failure, and reduced product quality. By effectively absorbing moisture from gases and liquids, these adsorbents help maintain the required optimal operating conditions, to make sure all the processes run smoothly and efficiently. For instance, molecular sieves are particularly effective in removing water and other impurities from hydrocarbon streams, which is vital for achieving high-quality end products. Their ability to selectively adsorb molecules based on size allows for the purification of various petrochemical products.
Activated alumina desiccants play a significant role in drying air and gases that are widely used in the various refining processes. They help prevent the formation of harmful by-products that can occur when moisture is present and maintain the optimum functioning of various processes. Container desiccants are also used during transportation and storage to protect sensitive materials from moisture damage, especially during the export of sensitive components and products.
