SLB Glycol Dehydration
Short Name
Contactor Tower
Description

Wet Gas contacts Dry Glycol, and the Glycol absorbs Water from the Gas. Wet Gas enters the Tower at the Bottom. Dry glycol flows down the tower from the Top, from Tray to Tray or through Packing Material.

The special Bubble Cap Configuration maximizes Gas/Glycol Contact, removing Water to levels below 5 lbm/MMcf. Systems can be designed to achieve levels down to less than 1 lbm/MMcf.

The Dehydrated Gas leaves the Tower at the Top and returns to the Pipeline or goes to other Processing Units. The Water-rich Glycol leaves the Tower at the Bottom and goes to the Reconcentration System.
