QUESTION

(PO2, CO2)

NATURAL GAS DEHYDRATION CONTROL SYSTEM

Consider the process shown in Figure 1. The process is used to dehydrate the natural gas
entering the absorber, using a liquid dehydrant (glycol). The glycol enters the top of the
absorber and flows down the tower countercurrent to the gas, picking up the moisture in the
gas. From the absorber, the glycol flows through a cross-heat-exchanger into the stripper. In
the reboiler, at the base of the stripper, the glycol is stripped of its moisture, which is boiled off
as steam. This steam leaves the top of the stripper and is condensed and used for the water
reflux. This water reflux is used to condense the glycol vapors that might otherwise be
exhausted along with the stem.

a) Develop a complete PID control system for the natural gas dehydration by considering the
possible locations of 3 basic components (measurement, decision and action) for each
controlling variable.

b) Design control systems necessary to control the following variables in order to achieve
optimum production rate of dehydrated natural gas and justify your answer.

i. Liquid level at the bottom of the absorber.

ii. The water reflux into the stripper.

iii. The pressure in the stripper

iv. The pressure in the top third of the stripper

v. The liquid level at the bottom of the stripper

vi. Efficient absorber operation at various throughputs
