Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt with the chemical formula CaCl2. It is a white coloured crystalline solid at room temperature, highly soluble in water.Occurrence: Calcium chloride occurs in nature in its hydrated forms as the rare minerals sinjarite (dihydrate) and antarcticite (hexahydrate). It is also found in large amounts in natural brine from salt lakes and salt deposits.
Because of its highly hygroscopic properties, calcium chloride is used to dry (remove moisture) a wide variety of gaseous and liquid organic products.
Desiccant for hydrocarbons, calcium chloride:
· Eli minates regeneration requirements.
· Si mplifies design and operation.· Reduces installation and operational costs.
