FLUIDYNE Silica Gel Breathers or Desiccants' clean and dry the incoming air. Expelled air partially regenerates the silica gel and back flushes the breather extending the life of the breather. FLUIDYNE Breathers are rugged in construction made of impact resistant Plexiglas, Die Cast Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Plastics and Carbon steel. Silica gel is inert, non toxic and non corrosive and contains microscopic pores that absorb moisture up to 40% to 45 % of its weight (Silica gel as hydrophilic agent.). When silica gel gathers maximum moisture it changes color when it is time to replace or regenerate the silica gel. Industry spends millions annually treating the negative effects of contamination caused by wet, dirty air. This causes contamination of tank contents, lubricants and hydraulic fluids resulting in loss, excess machine wear, production downtime, repair costs, etc. FLUIDYNR Breathers are the perfect solution for high humidity and high dust environments. To extend the desiccant's life a special design incorporates two check valves or inlet oil seal arrangement. The check valves provide a closed system until airflow is required, extending the service life of the desiccant. Specifically, the intake check valve allows airflow into the breather only when differential pressure between the atmosphere and fluid reservoir exceeds a 0.1 psi threshold, while the exhaust check valve permits air to exit the reservoir when the differential pressure exceeds a 2.0 psi threshold. A 0.1 psi check valve is also available for exhaust.

FLUIDYNE CO2 Absorbers, CO2 Breathers CO2 Scrubbers and CO2 Filters maintain stable pH and low conductivity of demineralised water and prevent carbon dioxide from entering into process water storage tanks and condensate storage tanks. FLUIDYNE manufacture and design highly efficient and rugged CO2 Absorbers, CO2 Breathers, CO2 Scrubbers and CO2 Filters for the removal of CO2 from air during in-breathing during emptying of DM Water or other storage tanks. The FLUIDYNE design is customized based on customer specifications, process data and other technical requirements. FLUIDYNE CO2 Absorbers, CO2 Breathers CO2 Scrubbers and CO2 Filters are installed on the process connection of the tank FLUIDYNE Carbon Breathers absorbers and scrubbers prevent carbon dioxide being absorbed in water by removing CO2 from air flowing into the tank. It is installed on the top cover of the tank for smaller sixes or by pipe connection at ground level for larger sizes. Industries such as chemical, petrochemical, power, electronics and pharmaceutical require highly pure and CO2 free demineralised water. Co2 can contaminate water and increases its conductivity which may not be suitable for most processes. FLUIDYNE CO2 Absorbers, CO2 Breathers CO2 Scrubbers and CO2 Filters are rugged and highly efficient and absorb cent percent of CO2 from the air and ensures highest quality of DM (Demineralised) water. Fluidyne CO2 Absorber Media is highly efficient having long life and 100% absorption potential and indicate by colour change when time has reached to replace it. The advantage of FLUIDYNE CO2 Absorbers, CO2 Breathers CO2 Scrubbers and CO2 Filters is it’s high efficiency, rugged design and ease of maintenance and operation.

FLUIDYNE CO2 ABSORBER MEDIA CHEMICAL COMPOSITION & REACTION

Components	%
Ca(OH)2 % & (CaO)	91-94
NaOH %	4-6
KOH %	4-6
CaCl2 % (humectant)	Trace
CaSO4 (hardener)	Trace
Polyvinylpyrrolidine % (hardener)	Trace

Note: Percentages are approximations which may not sum to 100%.

THE MAIN COMPOSITION IS CALCIUM OXIDE -- CaO

CaO is produced by heating CaCO3:
CaCO3(s) => CaO(s) + CO2(g)

This above reaction is reversible; calcium oxide will react with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. The reaction is driven to the right by flushing carbon dioxide from the mixture as it is released. CaO can be regenerated by this process by heating CaCO3 at 500 to 600 deg. C in an autoclave furnace.

CaO(s) + H2O(l) => Ca(OH)2(s)

The reaction of calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide is faster, producing a mortar that hardens more quickly.

Co2 absorption process:
Ca(OH)2(s) + CO2(g) => CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
CO2 (g) + 2 NaOH (or KOH) --> Na2CO3 (or K2CO3) + 2 H2O + Energy
Na2CO3 (or K2CO3) + Ca (OH)2 --> CaCO3 + 2 NaOH (or KOH)

OTHER Chemical Reactions FOLOWS:
1. CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3
2. H2CO3 + 2 NaOH (or KOH) --> Na2CO3 (or K2CO3) + 2 H2O + Energy
3. Na2CO3 (or K2CO3) + Ca(OH)2 --> CaCO3 + 2 NaOH (or KOH)

#1 is called the first neutralization reaction. In #2 and #3 the second neutralization reaction and the regeneration of activator take place. CaCO3 is an insoluble precipitate.

ADDITIONAL USES:
Additional use of absorber is as stack gas scrubbers to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from power plants. Sulfur dioxide reacts to form solid calcium sulfite:

SO2(g) + CaO(s) => CaSO3(s)

It is also used to remove phosphates:
3 CaO(s) + 3 H2O(l) + 2 PO43–(aq) => Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6 OH–(aq)

After signs of exhaustion this reaction takes place:


Indicating Type:
Changes color on absorption of CO2.
Indicating Type CO2 ABSORBER is available in two forms:

• Pink to White on CO2 absorption
• hite to Violet on CO2 absorption

Partical Shape and Size:
Particle size and shape are particularly important in terms of the performance of Soda lime in its intended application. All granules are irregularly sized, with low dust and excellent attrition resistance.

OTHER APPLICATIONS OF FLUIDYNE CO2 ABSORBER MEDIA
It is also used in pretreatment of water supplies involves to soften, and to clear drinking water. A variety of other industrial processes also is used as an o pacifier in plastics. The paper industry uses it in pulping wood; because it is highly alkaline, it dissolves the lignin that binds the fibers together in wood. In the refining of sugar, it causes coagulation of plant material, allowing it to be more easily separated from the sugar syrup.

Fluidyne Activated Carbon absorbers use granular activated carbon (GAC) for removing organic constituents and residual disinfectants in water supplies. This not only improves taste and minimizes health hazards; it protects other water treatment units such as reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins from possible damage due to oxidation or organic fouling. Most activated carbons are made from raw materials such as nutshells, wood, coal and petroleum. Different raw materials produce different types of activated carbon varying in hardness, density, pore and particle sizes, surface areas, and ph.  The two principal mechanisms by which activated carbon removes contaminants from water are adsorption and catalytic reduction.  Organics are removed by adsorption and residual disinfectants are removed by catalytic reduction. This is usually the case anyway since activated carbon is often used upstream of ion exchange or membranes to remove chlorine. Activated carbon can remove and destroy residual disinfectants (chlorine and chloramines) through a catalytic reduction reaction. Activated carbon absorbers are filters and need to be backwashed periodically.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) Breather is used to remove carbon dioxide and dust particles of the air breathed in by the DM water or NaOH tanks and ensure that the air entering into the tank is free from moisture and dust particles.

Carbon dioxide breathers are filled with special chemical absorber media (Indicating Type) which absorbs the CO2 and signals the saturation degree by changing its colour. Transparent portion of acrylic body or the window/s provided in metallic body absorbers of the breather is used to check if the media is consumed and needs to be replaced.

We are now manufacturing smaller capacity breathers up to 3” size with acrylic high strength body, non-breakable and UV stabilized. The larger capacity breathers above 3” size are manufactured from Carbon Steel body or Stainless-steel body. We are also manufacturing the breathers in FRP, PP, PVC and UPVC construction. In certain applications PVDF or PTFE lining can also be carried out for the body.
