ABSTRACT
Natural gas dehydration is the process of removing water vapor from the gas stream to lower the dew point of that gas. Water is the most common contaminant of hydrocarbons. It is always present in the gas-oil mixtures produced from wells. The dew point is defined as the temperature at which water vapor condenses from the gas stream. The sale contracts of natural gas specify either its dew point or the maximum amount of water vapor present.
