Gas dehydration using glycol solution in absorption and adsorption unit

Gas dehydration is widely used in natural gas treatment plant as a common process, because water and hydrocarbons can form hydrates, which may block valve and pipelines. Water also can cause corrosion in the gas contain acid components. Until today, among the most popular dehydration technology is e...
