What is dehydration process?

Answer 1

The gas dehydration is:

• the process of removing water from a substance or compound, or
• Excessive loss of water from the body or from an organ or body part, as from illness or fluid deprivation.

As for natural gas dehydration natural gas either from natural production or storage reservoirs contain water, which may condense and may also form solid gas hydrates to block pipeline flow and controlsystems. Natural Gas in transit to market should be dehydrated to a controlled water content to avoid hydrates, as well to minimize the corrosion problems. Dehydration of Natural Gas is the removal of the water that is associated with natural gases in vapor form. The natural gas industry has recognized that dehydration is necessary to ensure smooth operation of gas transmission lines. Dehydration prevents the formation of gas hydrates and reduces corrosion. Unless gases are dehydrated, liquid water may condense in pipelines and accumulate at low points along the line, reducing its flow capacity. Refer to link below for more information.
