Linde Adsorbents Carbon Molecular Sieve LMC 15 H, 20 H, 20 S, 15 P

Carbon Molecular Sieve for PSA Nitrogen Generation

Carbon Molecular Sieve by Sorbitech Group supplies CMS for PSA nitrogen generators and nitrogen purification skids used across industrial operations worldwide. Carbon Molecular Sieve is the adsorption media used in PSA nitrogen separation, where oxygen, water vapour, and carbon dioxide are adsorbed under pressure while nitrogen passes through, followed by regeneration during depressurization and purge.

Many PSA nitrogen generators use CMS media identified during maintenance by internal reference codes. Linde Absorbent LMC 15 H, LMC 20 H, LMC 15 P, and LMC 20 S, along with other models, are CMS designed for PSA systems, enabling efficient nitrogen separation. Sorbitech can propose a suitable replacement option for evaluation based on your operating targets and vessel configuration.

Why CMS matters in PSA nitrogen generation

PSA nitrogen systems operate through cyclic pressurization/depressurization steps, using adsorption beds packed with CMS to enable continuous nitrogen production.
In PSA nitrogen generation, CMS supports nitrogen separation by preferential adsorption behavior during the pressurized step, while nitrogen passes through as product gas, followed by regeneration during depressurization/purge

Linde CMS Grades Compatible with Medaad

We commonly support replacement requests referencing Linde CMS grades, such as:

• Linde Absorbent LMC 15 H
• Linde Absorbent LMC 20 H
• Linde Absorbent LMC 20 S
• Linde Absorbent LMC 15 P
• Other Linde CMS grades

CMS replacement fit for PSA nitrogen generators

In PSA nitrogen generators, CMS is the packed bed media inside the adsorption vessels. Replacement or refill projects typically focus on restoring the adsorber bed condition used for nitrogen separation and regeneration cycling, without changing the generator process design. PSA nitrogen systems are commonly built around two vessels that alternate between production and regeneration, and they rely on clean, dry compressed air upstream of the CMS beds.
