Reduce emissions and operating costs with appropriate glycol selection
Language: Inglés Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: BTEX emissions from glycol dehydration units have become a major concern and some form of control is necessary in many cases. One method of reducing BTEX emissions that is often overlooked is in the selection of the proper dehydrating agent. BTEX compounds are less soluble in diethylene glycol (DEG) than triethylene glycol (TEG) and considerably less soluble in ethylene glycol (EG). If the use of DEG or EG achieves the required gas dew point in cases where BTEX emissions are a concern, a significant savings in both operating costs and the cost of treating still vent gases may be achieved. This paper compares plant operations using TEG, DEG, and EG from the viewpoint of BTEX emissions, circulation rates, utilities, and dehydration capabilities.| Current library | Status | Barcode | |
