What is the reason for incomplete regeneration of adsorbents?
Oct 20, 2025
Author: DEAR AST

Insufficient regeneration temperature or pressure, insufficient heating temperature, low regeneration pressure, or insufficient vacuum degree result in incomplete desorption of adsorbates. Insufficient regeneration gas volume or time, insufficient regeneration gas flow rate, excessive exhaust pipe bends, or clogged noise reduction filters can cause poor regeneration gas flow.
Regeneration valve malfunction, valve leakage, blockage or abnormal operation, affecting the regeneration process. Heater malfunction, heater damage, short circuit or open circuit, resulting in the regeneration temperature not meeting the standard. The design problem of the adsorption tower is that the structure of the adsorption tower is unreasonable, resulting in uneven airflow distribution or dead corners.
Regeneration program error, controller program error, or operator's failure to follow procedures, resulting in insufficient regeneration time or incorrect steps. Switching logic error, dual tower switching valve failure or program controller malfunction, resulting in simultaneous adsorption or regeneration of both towers.
Adsorbent aging or failure, prolonged use of adsorbent, resulting in pore blockage or loss of active ingredients. The problem of adsorbent filling is that the adsorbent is not tightly packed, has voids or uneven particle size, resulting in short circuiting of the airflow.
Abnormal intake temperature or pressure, excessive intake temperature or pressure drop, exceeding the adsorbent treatment capacity. The intake contains liquid water, and the pipeline layout from the outlet of the air compressor to the inlet of the dryer is improper, resulting in the intake containing liquid water.
Sensor malfunction, such as dew point meter and CO ₂ analyzer, leads to data distortion. Accumulation of historical impurities that have not been regenerated for a long time, resulting in the accumulation of impurities that cannot be completely removed with a single regeneration.

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
