Two identical vessels operate 180\u00b0 out of phase: while one adsorbs water at operating conditions, the other is heated, purged, and cooled \u2014 giving uninterrupted gas processing.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design &#038; Construction<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vessels are designed and fabricated by PuraSpecs to ASME VIII Div.1 or PED. Carbon-steel shells with 316L internals (screens, support grids, distributors) protect the molecular-sieve charge, and the regeneration heater is ATEX\/IECEx rated for hazardous areas.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment Train<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complete train typically includes an inlet coalescer to protect the bed from liquids, the twin-tower vessels, the regeneration heater and cooler, a media loading\/unloading system, and the PLC\/DCS sequence controller.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why two vessels instead of one?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single adsorber would have to go offline to regenerate, interrupting gas flow. Two vessels on alternating cycles allow continuous processing with no interruption.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can it handle sour gas?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. With appropriate metallurgy (NACE MR0175\/ISO 15156) and bed-sizing margin, the unit operates reliably in the presence of H\u2082S and CO\u2082.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuous-duty temperature-swing adsorption dehydration package for natural gas, engineered by PuraSpecs to ASME VIII \/ PED with integrated regeneration heater and cooler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"sbc_equipment_category":[9],"sbc_application":[13],"sbc_industry":[18,19],"sbc_engagement_model":[29,28],"sbc_region_market":[],"class_list":["post-30","sbc_system","type-sbc_system","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sbc_equipment_category-gas-treatment-generation","sbc_application-gas-treatment-drying","sbc_industry-oil-gas","sbc_industry-petrochemicals-refining","sbc_engagement_model-fabrication","sbc_engagement_model-turnkey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/sbc_system\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/sbc_system"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/sbc_system"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/sbc_system\/30\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"sbc_equipment_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fsbc_equipment_category&post=30"},{"taxonomy":"sbc_application","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fsbc_application&post=30"},{"taxonomy":"sbc_industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fsbc_industry&post=30"},{"taxonomy":"sbc_engagement_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fsbc_engagement_model&post=30"},{"taxonomy":"sbc_region_market","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/molecularsieve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fsbc_region_market&post=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
