This study compares three conventional methods of natural gas (Associated Natural Gas) dehydration to carry out the dehydration process and suitability of use on the basis of energy requirement. These methods are Triethylene Glycol (TEG) absorption, solid desiccant adsorption and condensation. Analyses performed were based on dehydration of Natural Gas saturated with 103Nm3/h water content at a temperature range of -10O C to 30oC, and gas pressure variation between 7MPa and 20MPa. This analysis and study showed that energy required for all three processes decreases with increase in pressure, but condensation dehydration requires the least energy at high pressures. Results obtained shows that, both at high pressures and low pressures, TEG dehydration is most suitable and in cases where very low Tdew is required, solid desiccant adsorption is preferable. In conclusion, the findings in this paper will aid natural gas process design engineers to decide on what method to use base  on energy consumption and on the physical and chemical properties of the final products.Keywords: Dehydration, Absorption, Desiccant, Condensation, Triethylene Glycol (TEG)

Abstract Natural gas dehydration is essential in gas processing to avoid serious problems. As a pretreatment in a cryogenic Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) recovery process, it typically uses triethylene glycol (TEG) and followed by a Molecular Sieve dehydration to achieve 1 mg/Sm3 of water moisture in the dehydrated gas. This work studied the retrofitting of the existing dehydration unit to improve its performance in satisfying the gas moisture qualities. The retrofitted process uses recycled stripping gas schemes to achieve high purity TEG while minimizing the use of fresh stripping gas. The results revealed that the recycled stripping gas has provided sufficiently high purity TEG (>99.99%-wt), significantly reduced the heating and cooling duty by 80%, and reduced the electrical duty by 29% compared to the base case. The TAC was reduced by 38.1% from $ 725,245/year to $ 448,670/year. Through this study, the evaluated cases provide similar dehydration results with less equipment, simpler process, more energy-efficient, and better economic numbers. Therefore, a better process was obtained.
