How dry do you want it? (Alcoa Activated Alumina dries to lower dew points than any other commercial desiccant.)
Do you have a gas or liquid dehydration problem? Do you have some special con ditions? Alcoa probably has the answers. Alcoa® Activated Alumina dries gases and liquids as dry as or drier than any other commercial desiccant. And we can recommend the precise type, grade and size to do your job. Does this sound overconfident? It's not. Alcoa Activated Alumina, granular in form, is one of the few compounds that will ad sorb and hold moisture without change in form or properties.
Dew points below —100°F are readily attainable. In fact, — 140°F (measured,) and —200°F (estimated from downstream process conditions) have been obtained in commercial operations. Alcoa Activated Alumina is inert chem ically to most gases and v a p o r s ; it is nontoxic; it will not soften, swell or disinte grate in water. While some desiccants lose substantial adsorptive capacity on subse quent reactivation, Alcoa Activated Alumi na can be reactivated indefinitely without seriously lowering adsorption capacity*
