The Oxidation Heavyweight
Hydrosil International Ltd. introduces a major breakthrough in oxidation of acid gases, fumes and odors. HS-600, a unique molecular sieve impregnated with potassium permaganate, was created in our laboratories to oxidize gaseous pollutants such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, ethylene, mercaptans, and various aldehydes and alcohols. Effective in air dryers, scrubber tanks, compressor tanks, exhaust systems, computer rooms, general HVAC applications, and fresh fruit, vegetable and flower storage & transportation, HS-600 oxidizes contaminaants more efficiently and offers longer service life than competitive products.
HS-600 Provides from 50% to 100% longer service life than activated alumina product.
- HS-600 media is impregnated with 6.0% of the active ingredient potassium permanganate versus 4.0% for the activated alumina products (50% more). Hydrosil is produced at 6.0% potassium permanganate impregnated media for two simple reasons:
- Our customers like the increased media life and value of HS-600.
- The zeolite substrate effiently accepts a 6.0% impregnation with the appropriate production process that we use.
- HS-600 has a density of 60 pounds per cubic foot versus 50 pounds per cubic foot for activated alumina. When the media is placed in a scrubber/filter (or any fixed space) there are less open spaces or voids, approximately 20% less. The concept is simple, round activated alumina rests like marbles in a jar while HS-600 nestles, filling the majority of the Viods. Pollutant air is "filitered" more efficiently when void spaces are minimized. An insignificant increase in static pressure across the media bed is usually offset by reduced dust from HS-600 versus activated alumina product.
In summary, HS-600 density of 60 pounds per cubic foot and 6.0% potassium permanganate impergnation results in 3.6 pounds per cubic foot of activated ingredient. Activated alumina products carry only 2.0 pounds per cubic foot (50 pounds per cubic foot times 4.0%). Mathematically, the service life of HS-600 is 80% greater.
HS-600 is significatly less dusty.
Zeolite used in HS-600 has a crush strength of 2,500 pounds per square inch. Activated alumina has characteristics similar to chalk. A simple on site test is to partially fill and shake a small container with HS-600 and activated alumina product. The result is clear, HS-600 is substantially less dusty.
Improved air quality, less frequent final filter replacement costs and reduced net static air pressure are the result.
