Glycol Loss · Flash Tank · Heat Exchanger
Vaporization: 0.01-0.05 gal/MMscf (temperature dependent)
Mist Carryover: 0.02-0.10 gal/MMscf (demister dependent)
Thermal Degradation: 1-3% per year at proper temps
Typical pressure: 50-75 psig (optimize for hydrocarbon recovery)
Residence time: 10-20 minutes for adequate separation
Purpose: Remove dissolved gas and light hydrocarbons before regeneration
Glycol care, contamination, visual inspection, temperature limits, stripping gas, and startup/shutdown procedures
Three utility calculations for glycol dehydration system design and troubleshooting.
