Gas Dehydration Field Manual

Raw natural gas typically contains a substantial amount of water, which can degrade heating value and contribute to the formation of corrosion in piping and other equipment. This book defines the various methods of gas dehydration and discusses the differences between adsorption and absorption.

Klappentext
Over the years, LP Gas has increasingly played a valuable role in meeting the worlds growing demand for energy. Countries like Brazil, Russia, India, and China are rapidly expanding markets, with LP Gas in a position to provide everyone with access to clean and modern energy. Gas Dehydration Field Manual helps users to save time and money by keeping vital equipment running smoothly. Designed for engineers, technologists, and operations personnel involved in the design and operation of gas processing facilities, the book starts with an explanation of the terms and theories used throughout the industry. This is followed by clear and rigorous exposition of dehydration processes, such as condensation process, glycol regeneration and molecular sieves. Exercises appear at the conclusion of each chapter with hints in addition to full solutions.
