Simulation of Gas Dehydration Plants Safe Operation in Chemical Industry

This article describes a study of the dynamic behavior of a gas dehydration plant that uses triethylene glycol as sorbent agent. The gas dehydration technology in these plants benefits from the high capacity of triethylene – glycol to absorb water from gas. After desorption the hygroscopic qualities of the agent return to the initial state of unsaturation. The authors used the software package HYSYS v3.2® to simulate this process. The main cases refer only to the process safety in operation and the various situations that may occur during this process.
