SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This project is part of a larger GRC sponsored project called "Activity Loss of Zeolite Materials for Natural Gas Drying" coded GRC15002. It is the first experimental effort. A set of 5 samples were received from GASCO's ASAB plant: a fresh sample of adsorbent (zeolite 4A) and 4 spent samples taken from different positions in the reactor1. The reactor had been operating for 3 years before shut down. The goal of the current project is first to investigate the reasons for the loss of performance by analyzing these samples and secondly to identify suitable experimental techniques for doing this.
