Sales Gas Dehydration

Van Gas Technologies expertise ensures that everyday billions of cubic feet of natural gas meet "sales gas" specifications.

Unlike TEG dehydrators desiccant dehydration systems use no fuel gas, have no pumps, or burners, and produce no emissions. GasDry desiccants are often applied in environmentally sensitive locations to eliminate emissions that would otherwise be produced by a TEG system's gas conditioning and processing.

Sales gas is product that a natural gas producer, processor, or transporter intends to sell and not to consume for operations.

The successful sale of natural gas is often contingent on the product’s adherence to contractual quality specifications. These specifications typically outline minimum purity levels with respect to:

• Heating valve (BTUs)
• Acid gases (Hydrogen Sulfide & Carbon Dioxide)
• Hydrocarbon dew point
• Solids content
• Water Vapor content

Natural gas pipeline and transmission companies typically define water vapor content standards in terms of pounds of water per million standard cubic feet (MMSCF). Common standards are 4, 5, or 7
pound of water per MMSCF.

Across North America and around the globe, Van Gas Technologies desiccants are used to achieve pipeline moisture specifications.

Many gas producers have reduced or eliminated their reliance on TEG dehydrators with a system from Van Gas Technologies. To learn if desiccant dehydration is a match for your application, contact Van Gas Technologies.
