Dehydration Gas Quality
Pipelines
UK Specification ~50mg/Nm3
Europe ~60-70mg/Nm3
Specific Operators 20 mg/Nm3
Low Temperature Processes
LPG Recovery
LNG Liquefaction Plants
Water dewpoint dependent on process
Between 0.1 to 1 ppm water for very cold processes.
This paper concentrates on technologies for pipeline
specific applications.

Permeation
Membranes
Bulk separation of impurities
Hollow fibre, Spiral wound sheet, Plate type
Components water, hydrogen, carbon dioxide permeate
quicker than heavier molecular hydrocarbon compounds
Dewpoints greater than -50°C
Large pressure drop required
Sales gas lost to permeate
Degradation of membrane with heavy
HCs/Aromatics
