| Summary: | The increasing market demand for natural gas has pushed the energy industries
to explore new natural gas resources in remote location. Consequently, new dehydration
technologies suitable for remote location operation must be in placed in order to exploit
and transport these resources economically. Three main challenges in developing these
new technologies are the compactness of the equipment, performance reliability and
minimum human intervention in terms of maintenance and monitoring. This paper
reviews the current dehydration technology, as well as the new and emerging
technologies for natural gas dehydration, as well as the experimental set-up, the
methodology and the initial analysis of the high-g separation for dehydration purposes.
In this project, some of the factors that may have influence the cyclone performance
such as the temperature, inlet gas velocity, water loading and the system pressure is
identified. This study focused on the system pressure effect toward the separation
efficiency. The prototype separator will be operated in the lab to verify scale-up
parameters and separation efficiencies, as well as to provide information necessary to
design a full-scale system. The full-scale system will be fabricated, installed in the field,
and operated to demonstrate the technology. |
