Affordable Carbon Molecular Sieve CMS 260L for Medium Flow Industrial Nitrogen

Carbon Molecular Sieve for PSA Nitrogen Generation

CMS 260L is an affordable Carbon Molecular Sieve designed for medium flow nitrogen generation in general industrial applications. In addition, its high hardness helps it withstand routine handling and cycling. As a result, it suits mobile nitrogen generators and operations where cost effective nitrogen purity meets the requirement. Moreover, CMS 260L delivers dependable performance and long service life, so it supports standard operating demands with minimal maintenance.

How CMS 260L Works

CMS 260L uses a specially engineered carbon matrix with pore structure optimized to selectively adsorb oxygen from compressed air under pressure. As oxygen adsorbs into the CMS, nitrogen passes through with lower oxygen content. As a result, the system produces nitrogen streams suitable for general industrial use.

In addition, the high hardness pellets tolerate repeated pressure cycles with minimal attrition. Therefore, the bed maintains stable performance over time, helping the generator deliver consistent purity and flow.

CMS Grades Compatible with PSA System

To meet diverse engineering requirements in PSA nitrogen generation systems, CMS 260L is available in multiple calibrated pellet sizes:

• 1.2 mm
• 1.5 mm
• 1.8 mm

In addition, each size supports consistent packing density, which helps maintain uniform flow distribution through the adsorption bed. Therefore, the system can achieve stable performance while keeping pressure drop low. Moreover, CMS 260L fits both retrofit PSA units and new builds, so most projects can integrate it without changing the core system design.

Benefits of CMS 260L

• Cost effective solution for medium flow systems

• Durable pellets reduce dust formation and extend equipment life

• Minimal maintenance lowers operational downtime and expenses

• Versatile applications including tank inerting, pipeline blanketing, and lab gas supply
