Introduction to Solid
Desiccant
Dehydration of gas by solid desiccant is a adsorption
process.
The process of removal of water vapors from a gas stream.
Adsorption is defined as the ability of a substance to hold
gases or liquids on its surface.
ADSORBATE
the substance which is adsorbed on the
surface .
ADSORBENT
the substance on which surface the
adsorbate is adsorbed
Mechanism
The mechanism of adsorption on a surface are
of two types:
Physical adsorption
The bonding between the adsorbed species
and the solid phase hold liquid.
Chemical adsorption
Involving chemical reaction.

Inlet Separator:
Regeneration heater:
A heating unit which provides heat for
regeneration.
Regeneration cooler:
Use to cool the regeneration steam to within
15-20 degree Fahrenheit of the air
temperature.
Regeneration separator:
Separates the liquid and gas.
