Importance of Dehydration
y Gas Gathering:

y to reduce pipeline corrosion

y eliminate line blockage caused by hydrate formation

y water dew point < the lowest pipeline temperature Î no water formation

y Product Dehydration:

y Sales gas is usually dry if cryogenic hydrocarbon liquid recovery is used

y Liquid and gas streams may be water saturated after amine treatment or

coming from underground storage
y Most product specifications
specifications, except for propane
propane, require that no free
water be present


y Hydrocarbon Recovery:

y If acid gases are removed by use of amine processes
processes, Î the exit gas

leaves water saturated
y To prevent hydrate formation in the cryogenic section of hydrocarbon
recoveryy Î water
