Methods for treating a gaseous stream are described herein. A method for treating a gaseous stream, includes contacting a gaseous stream comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons with organosilica particles at a temperature of 60&#xb0; C. or less and a pressure of 0.1 MPa(g) or more to capture at least a portion of the hydrocarbons from the gaseous stream and to obtain a treated gaseous stream. The hydrocarbon dew point value of the treated gaseous stream is lower than a hydrocarbon dew point value of the gaseous stream prior to being contacted with the organosilica particles.

Methods for hydrocarbon dew point reduction using an organosilica media

Methods for regenerating a bed of organosilica particles and producing a treated gaseous stream are described herein. A method for regenerating a bed of organosilica particles includes introducing a heated regenerate stream to a bed of organosilica particles comprising captured C3+ hydrocarbons under conditions sufficient to remove at least a portion of the captured C3+ hydrocarbons from the organosilica particles; and introducing a cooled regenerate gaseous stream to the heated bed of organosilica particles. The regenerated organosilica particles are used to treat additional gaseous streams.
