This document provides specifications for several glycol dehydration units including minimum and maximum operating parameters. Key details include:
- Unit locations and gas characteristics at absorber inlets including minimum pressures, maximum temperatures, and gas flow rates.
- Required water dew points and dry gas water content specifications.
- Calculations of the maximum water content of inlet gas and amount of water to be removed by each unit.
- Determination of minimum lean glycol concentrations and selection of main process parameters for the absorption process.
- Sizing of major equipment including absorber diameter, reboiler heat duties, and glycol circulation rates.
