13X APG Molecular Sieve
Packing and typical duty
Before you order
- Compare this grade with the others — pore size, what it adsorbs and the regeneration temperature
- Packing, lead time and Incoterms — 25 kg bags, drums or big bags, 1,000 kg minimum
- Request a sample — 0.5–1 kg from production with its certificate of analysis
13X APG Molecular Sieve
13X APG is the X-type grade supplied for air separation service. It is selected for the simultaneous removal of water and CO2 from feed air ahead of the cold box, where both must be reduced to trace levels to prevent freezing in the cryogenic section.

| Typical sizes | Spheres 1.6–2.5 mm, 3.0–5.0 mm; pellets 1/16", 1/8" |
| Bulk density | ≥0.62 g/ml (typical 0.62–0.66) |
| Static water adsorption | ≥26 wt% |
| Static CO2 adsorption (25 °C) | ≥17.5 wt% (typical 17.5–18.5) |

| Attrition loss | ≤0.2 wt% |
| Moisture as packed | ≤1.5 wt% |

Frequently asked questions
Why is a dedicated APG grade used in air separation?
The duty requires water and CO2 to be removed in the same bed at trace levels. APG grades are selected for both capacities together rather than for water alone.
How long does a pre-purification bed last?
Service life depends on feed conditions, cycle time and regeneration. Send us your feed composition and cycle and we will size the bed and estimate replacement intervals.
What is the minimum order and packing?
1,000 kg per grade, in 25 kg cartons or bags, 130–150 kg steel drums or 750–1,000 kg big bags.
Where this grade is used
- Air separation — air pre-purification: water and CO2 removed in the same bed
- Oxygen generation — feed-air clean-up ahead of the PSA or VPSA oxygen bed
