Glycol Dehydration And Regeneration

CHALLENGE

Dehydrate large quantities of nitrogen prior to injection into the petroleum sales gas under two primary constraints:

• Install in a significantly less space than the shell and tube heat exchanger alternative would require
• Require almost no maintenance

SOLUTION

Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers for glycol regeneration, engineered in a five-pass configuration with a long thermal length.

RESULTS

• When installed the SUPERMAX attained a 50% smaller footprint than the shell and tube alternative
• Reduced maintenance burdens
