The document describes a natural gas dehydration process using triethylene glycol (TEG). An inlet gas stream enters a free water knockout drum before being absorbed in a column. The rich TEG stream is then heated and sent to a regenerator column. Key steps include:
1) Drawing the process flow sheet.
2) Calculating the pressure drop across the valve and heat exchanger outlet temperature.
3) Studying the effect of inlet gas temperature on water content in the dry gas stream.

A gas stream is fed to the dehydration unit in order to prevent hydrate formation during gas processing facilities. Inlet gas stream (30oC, 6200 kPa, 500 kgmole/hr) is fed to FWKO (Free Water Knock Out drum, separator) to separate the free water from gas. The vapor outlet from the FWKO is then fed to the bottom of the Absorber (with 8 trays, top stage & bottom stage pressures are 6190 and 6200 kPa respectively) where water is absorbed with TEG (tri-ethylene glycol). TEG stream containing 1% H2O by Mass at 50oC and 6200 kPa with Std Ideal liquid volume flow =0.5 m3/hr, enters the absorber from the top. After running the Absorber, the bottom liquid outlet stream which is rich with TEG is flashed across a valve. The outlet pressure will be back calculated. The outlet stream from the valve is heated through the shell side of a Heat Exchanger to 105oC (outlet pressure= 110 kPa) where it exchanged heat with regenerator bottom (shell side delta P= 70 kPa, tube side delta P= 0.7 kPa), and then entering the TEG Regenerator (Distillation Column). The TEG Regenerator consists of 0ne stage, a Full Reflux condenser (Pressure=101 kPa, Condenser Pressure drop=2 kPa, once you add the condenser pressure & the condenser pressure drop; the reboiler pressure will be calculated), and a reboiler. Before running the distillation column, two column specifications must be added. First one is a Column Temperature spec for the condenser (102oC). The second spec is also a Column Temperature spec but for reboiler (205oC). After running the column, the bottom liquid outlet is fed to the tube side inlet in the previous Heat Exchanger.
Notes:
- For Heat Exchanger:
