TEG dehydration (triethylene glycol dehydration) is one of the most commonly used dehydration methods in the natural gas processing industry, belonging to solvent absorption method. It utilizes the absorption principle and uses glycol substances (such as triethylene glycol) as absorbents to fully contact with natural gas, transferring water to the solvent to achieve dehydration. The molecular structure of glycerol contains hydroxyl and ether bonds, which can form hydrogen bonds with water and have a strong affinity for water, resulting in a high dehydration depth.

In addition to absorption and adsorption, membrane dehydration unit is gaining popularity in natural gas dehydration plants. This process involves using semi-permeable membranes to selectively remove water vapor from the gas stream. The membranes allow water molecules to pass through while retaining the dry gas. Membrane dehydration is known for its simplicity, compact footprint, and low energy consumption. It is particularly suitable for small-scale gas processing operations and applications where space and energy efficiency are critical. However, membrane dehydration may not be as effective in achieving extremely low water content levels compared to absorption and adsorption methods.
