Natural Gas Dehydration
Natural gas dehydration is the process of removing water vapor from natural gas. A gas dehydration system is used by oil and gas producers to dehydrate natural gas into a state where it can be sold downstream.

Conditions Affecting the Design and Operation of Gas Dehydrators
The temperature of the glycol entering the contactor has a significant effect on the gas dew point depression and should be held to within 10oF above the inlet gas temperature. Higher glycol losses and higher outlet gas dew points occur when the lean glycol enters the contactor at a temperature more than 100F above the gas temperature
Five basic methods for dehydrating or drying Natural Gas
Glycol dehydrators, also known as gas dehydrators or TEG units, are used to remove water vapor from natural gas. The process of dehydration is important for two reasons.
Glycol Dehydration Unit
Glycol dehydration processes utilize glycol solvents to remove water from wet natural gas to meet pipeline quality specifications or condition the gas for condensate liquids removal.
