Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein generally relate to recycling, or reducing flaring or venting, of vent gases from glycol based dehydration of natural gas. Some systems and methods use high pressure gas, high pressure glycol, or pump-assisted high pressure glycol to provide motive energy to draw reflux gas and/or skimmer gas through one or more venturis and back to the contact tower of the dehydration system. Some systems and methods provide for harvesting energy from the dehydration process.
