Desiccant Dehydration

Treatment

'I he Application

Dosiccanl dehydration is (lie primary form of natural gas "drying¹! Wet gas enters and passes through the desiccant, where the water is adsorbed and retained and the gas exits. Two or more towers, filled wilh a solid drsk'C'am such as silica gel or molecular sieve, can usually be found in the .system so thai as the desiccant in one tower becomes saturated with water, it can be shut down and the desiccant re genera led while another

The Applicai ion

Glycol dehydration is an adsorption process :n which givi ol :i liipiul solvent, is used to remove water vapour Irnin naturai g;is. Glycol is brought into coniaci with [be weLgas stream in a contactor tower, and then dry natural gas is transported nut of die lower and imo a carlini; bed lo remove hydrocarbons from die gas before further processing.

Ihc Solution

Two-stage enaleseing lor lk|llids and panicles pi io natural gas entering the tower will prevent foaming and downstream equipment failure. A coalescing filter upstream of the carbon bed will help to extend and a paniculate filter downstream of tlie unit « ill remove carbon fines and further protect downstream equipment.
