F-200

Activated Alumina

BASF F-200 spherical beads of activated alumina are industry leading solutions for the drying of liquids and gases. A variety of bead sizes are available to suit different applications. BASF’s unique manufacturing process results in a uniform bead size, which is important in high pressure gas dehydration to minimize pressure drop.

With high adsorption capacity and relatively easy regeneration, F-200 activated alumina can offer our customers an excellent balance between performance and cost.

High crush strength, resistance to amines, low abrasion and a large surface area are further benefits offered by F-200. Please read the features and benefits section below for more information. Our technical service team are here to help with your enquiry.

Features

Spherical activated alumina.
Four different grades with average bead size of: 7x14 Tyler Mesh (2 mm), 1/8" (3.2 mm), 3/16" (4.7 mm), 1/4" (6.4 mm).
Preferrential adsorption of polar molecules.
Total pore volume of 0.5 cm³/g for all grades.
Can either be used in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) or thermal regeneration driers.

Benefits

High surface area and tailored pore size distribution to give a high adsorptive capacity. Dew point of -40°C can be achieved.
Low abrasion - less dusting during transport, loading and service life. Reduces pressure drop and minimizes downstream plugging of filters and valves.
Unform ball size - Useful in high pressure gas dehydration where minimizing pressure drop is crucial.
High crush strength - Improves lifetime stability of the product.
Resistant to attack by amines.

Typical Applications

Industrial air drying
Gas and liquid drying
Transformer oil drying
Lubricant drying
