Carbon molecular sieve is a kind of adsorption material with carbon as the main component and highly developed microporous structure, which is widely used in PSA nitrogen production and gas separation.

Carbon Molecular Sieve 330 (CMS-330) is a high-performance adsorbent designed for Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generation. With a pore size of around 3 angstroms, CMS-330 can effectively separate oxygen molecules (kinetic diameter ~2.9 Å) from nitrogen molecules (kinetic diameter ~3.64 Å), allowing for the efficient production of nitrogen with high purity levels.

As a trusted manufacturer, YUANHAO has been dedicated to the development and production of carbon molecular sieves since 2010. With over 15 years of experience, advanced production facilities, and a strong commitment to quality, Yuanhao ensures that CMS-330 delivers consistent performance, long service life, and energy efficiency for global customers.

carbon molecular sieve 330 Feature

Higher Nitrogen Purity than Zeolites

CMS-330’s 3-angstrom uniform pores allow selective oxygen adsorption, achieving nitrogen purity above 99.9%, while conventional zeolites often produce lower purity under the same PSA conditions.

Faster Adsorption than Silica Gel

Compared with silica gel, CMS-330 adsorbs oxygen more quickly due to its optimized micropore structure, enabling shorter PSA cycle times and improved nitrogen production efficiency.

Longer Lifespan than Synthetic Molecular Sieves

CMS-330 maintains stable performance for 5–8 years, resisting degradation under repeated pressure swings, whereas many synthetic molecular sieves lose efficiency more rapidly.

Higher Nitrogen Yield than Aluminosilicates

Compared with aluminosilicate adsorbents, CMS-330 provides greater nitrogen output in high-flow PSA systems due to its higher adsorption capacity and precise pore distribution.

Packaging and Storage Guidelines

Secure and Protective Packaging

The product is sealed in plastic drums with aluminum foil lids, wrapped with protective film, and packed on pallets. This method completely isolates CMS-330 from external air, preventing moisture absorption and ensuring safe transportation and convenient unloading.

Store CMS-330 in a dry, cool place. Do not open the seal before use, as prolonged exposure to air allows moisture, oil, and organic particles to enter the micro-pores, which can reduce nitrogen adsorption capacity.

During filling, the product should be compactly loaded using suitable vibration methods. Avoid using rods or direct pounding to prevent breakage or powder formation.

Fill the CMS-330 within 2 hours. Any remaining product should be sealed immediately to maintain performance.

Under normal conditions, inlet pressure 0.8 MPa and temperature 20°C ensure the best adsorption efficiency. CMS-330 has a service life of 5–8 years when operated under these conditions.

Applications of carbon molecular sieve 330

Biogas Upgrading

In biogas upgrading plants, CMS-330 is applied in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems to separate carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and water vapor from raw biogas streams. Its precise micropores selectively adsorb these impurities while retaining methane, producing renewable natural gas (RNG). This upgraded gas is suitable for pipeline injection, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, and vehicle fuels.

Plastic Injection Molding

During high-precision plastic injection molding, CMS-330 generates high-purity nitrogen for gas-assisted molding techniques. The nitrogen is injected into the mold cavity to displace plastic melt, creating hollow sections and reducing internal stress. This controlled atmosphere minimizes oxidation, improves product surface finish, and reduces material waste, making it valuable for automotive parts, electronics housings, and medical components production.

Cryogenic Applications

In cryogenic cooling and preservation systems, CMS-330 is used to produce high-purity nitrogen through PSA units. The nitrogen generated is then liquefied and applied for biological sample preservation, semiconductor cooling, and specialty material storage. By ensuring ultra-pure nitrogen free from oxygen and moisture, CMS-330 helps maintain stable low-temperature conditions, protecting sensitive products and extending their usable lifespan.

Oil-Free Air Systems

For oil-free compressed air systems in industries such as petrochemicals, metallurgy, and electronics, CMS-330 is used in PSA modules to enrich nitrogen. By reducing oxygen content, it creates a safer, non-combustible environment in pipelines and storage systems. This minimizes risks of fire, corrosion, and product degradation, ensuring stable operation of equipment and protecting the quality of end products in demanding industrial processes.

How do Carbon Molecular Sieves Compare to Activated Alumina and Activated Carbon?

Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS), Activated Alumina (AA), and Activated Carbon (AC) are all widely used adsorbents, but they differ significantly in structure, performance, and applications. Understanding these differences helps industries choose the right material for gas separation, purification, and drying processes.

Pore Structure and Selectivity

Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS): CMS has highly uniform micropores (~3 Å), which allows precise separation of molecules based on size, such as nitrogen from oxygen. This makes it ideal for PSA nitrogen generation and high-purity gas applications.

Activated Alumina (AA): AA has larger, irregular pores and is highly hydrophilic, making it effective for moisture removal from gases and liquids but less selective for molecular separation.

Activated Carbon (AC): AC has a wide range of pore sizes and high surface area, allowing adsorption of organic vapors, odors, and some gases, but it lacks the precise molecular sieving capability of CMS.

Adsorption Performance

CMS: Provides high nitrogen purity and recovery due to its precise pore structure. It is highly durable under repeated pressure swings and maintains performance over time.

AA: Excellent at removing water vapor and some acidic gases. However, its performance can drop if exposed to fine particulates or oils, and it does not separate gases by size.

AC: Ideal for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and contaminants. Its adsorption is less selective, and it cannot effectively separate gases like oxygen and nitrogen.

Typical Applications

CMS: PSA nitrogen plants, hydrogen purification, biogas upgrading, and high-purity industrial processes.

AA: Compressed air drying, gas dehydration, water treatment, and refinery processes.

AC: Air purification, odor removal, solvent recovery, and environmental protection applications.

Durability and Lifespan

CMS: Long service life (5–8 years under normal PSA conditions) and resistant to pressure swing fatigue.

AA: Moderate lifespan; sensitive to moisture saturation and contamination.

AC: Variable lifespan depending on contaminants; requires regeneration to maintain efficiency.
