Van Air Systems 4Uf (or Gas Dry™ Ultimate) can be used by itself or in combination with other grades of deliquescent desiccants, such as SP or 10BF Desiccant. In some applications, consumption is optimized when the process gas flows through the lower-grade desiccant prior to the highly absorbent 4UF. Natural gas or process gas dehydration at low pressures, low flow rates, and/or low temperatures can be very difficult. Most conventional salt-type absorbent desiccants are unable to adequately dry gas to low water content under these conditions. 4UF was developed to meet low dew point requirements when other desiccants or glycols cannot.
Dryer Desiccants
With more than 65 years of experience developing desiccant formulas, Van Air Systems is the original and leading manufacturer of deliquescent desiccants for drying compressed air and gases. From a definition standpoint, a desiccant is a hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent. Many are commonly encountered in packaging to keep the contents dry and free from mold or mildew. However, for many industrial uses, deliquescent desiccants are a dependable, cost-effective, and energy-free tool for a wide range of industrial drying applications. Van Air Systems offers a variety of adsorbent desiccants, including activated alumina, silica gel, and molecular sieve. These desiccants are used in point-of-use applications, as well as in regenerative drying applications.
