Drying Tower

Whatsapp Order

Drying Tower is a vertical apparatus designed for moisture removal from gases in laboratory and industrial settings. It typically contains desiccants that absorb water vapor to supply dry gases necessary for sensitive chemical processes, gas purification, and environmental applications. Constructed from chemically resistant materials, Drying Towers maintain controlled humidity levels critical for consistent laboratory and industrial operations.

Description

Uses
Primary Uses

  • Laboratory gas drying for moisture-sensitive chemical reactions and analyses.

  • Supplying dry inert gases such as nitrogen or argon in laboratory environments.

  • Preparation of dry air for chromatography and analytical instruments.

  • Maintaining dry gas streams to protect moisture-sensitive equipment.

  • Use in environmental labs for controlling moisture during gas sampling.

Secondary Uses

  • Industrial drying of gases in manufacturing and processing plants.

  • Pretreatment of gases for storage in cylinders or pipelines.

  • Drying air or gases used in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.

  • Use in research and development for materials requiring dry atmospheres.

  • Environmental monitoring applications requiring moisture-free gases.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

  • Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling desiccants.

  • Avoid inhalation of desiccant dust.

  • Ensure proper ventilation during operation.

First Aid Measures

  • Rinse skin or eyes immediately if contact with desiccants occurs.

  • Seek medical advice if irritation or respiratory symptoms persist.

  • Treat cuts or injuries from glass carefully and seek medical help if needed.

Firefighting Measures

  • Drying Tower materials are non-flammable.

  • Use extinguishing agents suitable for surrounding combustible materials.
