TYPES OF LIQUID SORBENTS USED IN GAS DRYING AND THEIR MAIN PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Keywords:
that the density of the absorbent differs from the density of liquid hydrocarbons found in natural gas. This makes it easier to separate the absorbent and the condensate; • low viscosity in operating conditions to ensure better contact with gas from the absorber, heat exchanger and other mass exchange equipment;Abstract
To remove moisture from natural gas, various dryers with the following properties can be used [1-2]:
- high absorption capacity in large ranges of process pressure and temperature;
- low saturated vapor pressure, this property is one of the main indicators for reducing the loss of absorbents during regeneration;
- the difference of the boiling temperature from the boiling temperature of water in large intervals. The higher the boiling temperatures, the easier it is to separate the absorbent and water using simple methods;
