Natural Gas Dehydration Unit With TEG (Tri Ethylene Glycol)

Glycol dehydration units play a crucial role in the natural gas processing industry, where they are utilized to remove water vapor from natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is the most commonly used desiccant in these units due to its high efficiency and stability.

In a typical TEG dehydration unit, natural gas flows through a contactor tower where it comes into contact with a stream of liquid TEG. The TEG absorbs water vapor from the gas stream, effectively dehydrating it to meet pipeline specifications. The dehydrated gas is then routed for further processing or distribution.

TEG dehydration units offer several advantages over alternative dehydration methods. Firstly, TEG is highly effective at removing water vapor from natural gas streams, even at high pressures and temperatures. Additionally, TEG can be regenerated and recycled multiple times, making it a cost-effective solution for continuous gas dehydration operations.
