predicted rapidly by proposing a simple correlation. The following
methodology has been applied to develop this correlation:
Firstly, water removal efciencies (R) are correlated as a func-
tion of TEG circulation rates j Cubic meter of TEG=kg H2 O,
for different TEG concentrations (X). Then, the calculated coef-
cients for these polynomials are correlated as a function of TEG
concentrations. The derived polynomials are applied to calculate
new coefcients for equation (2) to predict the water removal
efciency. Tables 1 and 2 show the tuned coefcients for equa-
tions (3)(6).
In brief, the following steps are repeated to tune the correla-
tions coefcients.

2. Repeat step 1 for other TEG concentrations (X).
