What is Gas Dehydration?
Natural gas dehydration is a process used in the removal of water vapor- or water content- in natural gas so that it meets pipeline quality standards. It's important because high levels of water vapor in the natural gas can cause corrosion and freezing, resulting in costly repairs. But what exactly is natural gas dehydration? Here's everything you need to know about this important process:
The Gas Dehydration process
The process of natural gas dehydration generally consists of two steps. The first involves adding glycol to the natural gas in order to absorb any additional water vapor present in it. Glycol has a molecular structure that reacts with water molecules, allowing it to lower the dew point temperature of the natural gas.
The second step involves running the glycol-treated natural gas through a regeneration tower, which removes all traces of absorbed water molecules from the glycol. This results in “dry” natural gas meeting pipeline quality standards for moisture content at temperatures below the dew point.
Benefits of Natural Gas Dehydration Process
Using an efficient and effective dehydration system will help ensure that pipelines remain undamaged and operational for an extended period of time. Additionally, dehydration promotes safety as moisture can create pockets within pipes where flammable gases may accumulate and cause fires or explosions when ignited by heat from nearby machinery or other heat sources. By dehydrating pipelines regularly, companies can avoid costly repair bills due to pipe corrosion caused by elevated moisture levels in their pipes and facilities.
The natural gas dehydration process is a critical process in the production and distribution of gas resources across various industries today. By decreasing humidity levels down to acceptable rates through efficient technology such as absorption systems and adsorption systems, it is easy to maintain clean lines and extend the life span of pipeline systems while promoting safe working conditions for employees operating these networks on behalf of their companies or organizations.
Why Rebuildable Design?
The rebuildable design of our dehydration units enables the end user to make repairs and replace worn parts without having to remove the pump from operation. All wear components are easily replaceable and available in affordable rebuild kits. The simple disassembly and reassembly process makes field service and repair easy, saving you time and money.
