Natural gas drying technology

Abstract

The article considers the issues of cleaning natural gas with water vapour. It was found that the increase in temperature in the process of gas drying will increase the moisture content in it to 0.5 g/m3 and this will be an excess load on the adsorbent. The experimental tests of the compressed gas dryer showed that the technological scheme was chosen correctly and that it worked well and had the right parameters. The experimental device was tested at the N1 gas station in Samarkand. To study the effective operation of the device, 4 types of tests were conducted: the first was immediately connected to the device, and the second, third and fourth were conducted at 380, 800 and 1650 hours. During the test period, gas humidity was studied at the entrance and exit of the station, and the entrance and exit of the drying device, based on the obtained results, conclusions and suggestions were given. The purpose of the work is to select sorbents with high efficiency for natural gas drying and to create natural gas drying technology.
