SHENRUN  Calcium Chloride Briquettes are white almond shaped briquettes that serve as a cost-effective desiccant suitable for dehydration of a broad spectrum of hydrocarbon streams. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided for every product shipment.

Where To Use

Calcium chloride effectively removes water from natural gas, propane, kerosene, diesel, and other hydrocarbon streams. In a dehydrator, the hydrocarbon flows upward through a bed containing a calcium chloride desiccant for dehydration. The hydrocarbon’s dissolved water is converted into a liquid calcium chloride brine solution, which is drained off the bottom of the dehydration unit.

shenrun almond-shaped Calcium Chloride Briquettes are specially designed for increased surface area contact with the hydrocarbon to enhance drying and support hydrocarbon flow through the drying bed. In contrast, drying beds filled with calcium chloride chips and chunks may produce a less uniform flow, which results in reduced drying performance.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in a dry area, and tightly reseal after each use. To maintain product quality while in storage, solid calcium chloride must be protected from moisture. If the product is on a pallet covered by an intact plastic shroud, it can be stored outdoors on a well-drained surface. If the shroud is torn, pierced, or removed, then the palletized product should be stored indoors or under a waterproof covering. 

When properly stored to protect from moisture contact, the expected shelf life for all calcium chloride packaged products is 36 months from the date of manufacture. Calcium chloride does not degrade or deteriorate; however, the shelf life is limited based on the potential for moisture intrusion into the product. Moisture will cause a decrease in overall calcium chloride assay and may cause product clumping. Solid calcium chloride absorbs moisture from the air (i.e., is hygroscopic), even to the point of converting to liquid brine (i.e., is deliquescent).
