Natural Gas Dehydration Processes

Water vapor in an all-natural gas flow might result in range connecting due to moisturize formation, reduction of range potential due to collection of free water in the queue, and high threat of damage to the direction due to the corrosive results of water. Consequently, water vapor ought to be removed from organic gas to avoid moisturize formation or even corrosion from condensed water.

Natural Gas Dehydration Processes is the process of removing water vapor from a gas flow to lower the heat range at which water will condense from the stream; this temperatures are known as the “dew point” of the gas. Molecular sieves are considered as one of the most important components that are used as desiccant components in commercial organic gas dehydration.

What is dehydration?

Natural Gas Dehydration Processes is the removal of water from an object such as organic gas and oil. In addition to splitting oil and some condensate from the wet gas flow, it is necessary to remove most of the water. Most of the fluid, free water associated with produced organic gas, is removed by easy separation methods at or near the wellhead.  

Natural gas must be dried to remove water vapor which leads to the formation of hydrates, over saturation of organic gas, and corrosion of devices. Hydrates are solid, ice-like frozen compounds formed of hydrocarbons and water. Moisturize formation occurs in high-pressure sources with a low heat range. Hydrates can form, however, at temperature ranges above cold point. The process improves saturation and helps to make more water vapor. Hydrates cause cold and blocking of sewer lines, valves and other devices, leading to production problems.
