Glycol Systems: The "Lean" Truth

Standard charts suggest a lean TEG concentration of 98.5%. The exclusive data shows that with proper stripping gas injection and a DRIZO®-type process, you can achieve 99.95% purity. The handbook includes: Handbook of Natural Gas Transmission and Processing and

Sales gas specifications (example – US pipeline):

• H₂S: ≤ 4 ppmv
• Total sulfur: ≤ 20 ppmv
• CO₂: ≤ 2–3 mol%
• Water dew point: ≤ −10 °C at pipeline pressure
• Hydrocarbon dew point: ≤ −2 °C at 60 bar
• Heating value: 950–1,100 Btu/scf

• Glycol Dehydration: This is the industry standard, typically using Triethylene Glycol (TEG). Similar to amine treating, the gas contacts glycol in an absorber. The glycol absorbs the water vapor and is subsequently regenerated by boiling off the water.
• Solid Desiccants: For extremely low dew points required in cryogenic processing, molecular sieves are used to adsorb water on a solid surface.
