Abstract
A method of dehydrating wet gas including the steps of passing the wet gas downwardly through a vertical conduit, injecting anhydrous glycol into the vertical gas stream to intermix with the wet gas, passing the gas and glycol mixture downwardly within a vessel into a pool of glycol, the gas passing upwardly through the pool and into a gas collection chamber, the water entrained in the gas being absorbed by the glycol, the dry gas being passed out of the vessel, the glycol having water admixed therewith being conveyed to a water extraction means to provide a supply of anhydrous glycol and circulating the anhydrous glycol back to the vertical gas stream. The invention also encompasses a separator for extracting entrained water from a gas stream and including means for injecting the gas stream into a vertical conduit where it is mixed with glycol. The invention also includes an absorber wherein the gas stream is passed upwardly through a pool of glycol.
