Natural Gas Dehydration by Absorption Process: A comparative simulation study towards high effective natural gas dehydration using TEG technology

Natural gas dehydration by absorption using triethylene glycol (TEG) is one of the most effective techniques with high efficiency. There are many processes using this approach but any of them is able to combine the high performance and the economic energy consumption. In this study water hydrocar...
