Category Archives: Gas Dehydration

The first step in evaluating and/or designing a gas dehydration system is to determine the water content of the gas. The water content of a gas is dependent upon gas composition, temperature, and pressure. For sweet natural gases containing over 70% methane and small amounts of “heavy ends,” the McKetta-Wehe pressure-temperature correlation, as shown in… Read More »

Gas dehydration is the process of removing water vapor from a gas stream to lower the temperature at which water will condense from the stream. This temperature is called the “dew point” of the gas. Most gas sales contracts specify a maximum value for the amount of water vapor allowable in the gas. Typical values… Read More »
