    5. Process design minimum requirements

    5.1 Main parameters

    1. Type of glycol to be used

    Use of TEG is only considered in this specification.

    2. Water content of Feed Gas

    If water content of the wet gas is not given in the particular specification, adopt the highervalue of water content obtained with:

    The more conservative correlation from Vendor know how (This one must be presented inthe proposal).

    The charts given in the last edition of the GPSA Engineering Data Book with salinity andrelative density correction (This value must be multiplied by 1.1),

    The charts given by Wichert in Oil and Gas Journal (March 29, 1993) with salinity andrelative density correction (This value must be multiplied by 1.1).

    Note:

    In all cases corrections for acid gas components have to be taken into account.

    Water content shall be calculated for the most stringent operating conditions (minimumpressure, maximum temperature).

    3. A margin of 5C on guaranteed dew point value is usually taken depending on contractualpenalties attached to this guaranteed value.

    4. Glycol flow rate

    A low ratio of lean TEG per kilogram of removed water is used when water content is high(low pressure and high temperature feed gas), and high ratio is used when water content is

    Furthermore, to insure a good wetting of the structured packing, a minimum glycol flow rateof one cubic meter per hour per square meter of dehydration column area section is

    requested.

    Increasing the glycol flow rate and purity may reduce the structured packing height, but thegain obtained by reduction on the glycol contactor height is counter balanced by the increaseof the regeneration unit size since more glycol have to be treated.

    5. Purity of the lean glycol

    Even if the purity of the lean glycol does not required it, the installation of a strippingcolumn must be considered.

    At least, provis ion for direct st ripping gas in jection into the reboiler must be provided.(applicable at small uni ts on ly).

    If the wet feed gas is not water saturated the lean glycol purity and the number of equilibriumstage in the contactor will be defined by assuming the feed gas is water saturated.

    The lean glycol concentration shall be determined with a margin of 10C between therequired water dew point and the theoretical equilibrium dewpoint.

    6. A detailed material balance including all components (H2O, TEG, high and heavyhydrocarbons, aromatics, H2S, CO2, etc.) must be submitted.

    Glycol losses shall be explicited: liquid carry over and vapor tension in dry gas, flash drum,still column overhead, pumps leakage, etc.

    Detailed calculation according to GPSA Engineering Data Book for aromatics shall besubmitted to COMPANY.

    7. If no aromatic content is specified in the feed gas composition, consider for the design thata minimum value of 10 mol % of the C6+are composed of aromatics.

    Special care must be taken for the design of the stripping column, still column, overheadcondenser and charcoal filter to account for aromatics from gas dissolved in the glycol.

    5.2 Glycol dehydration column

    5.2.1 Scrubbing system of the inlet gas

    5.2.1.1 Scrubbing system description

    To prevent gas dehydration unit troubles it is essential and highly recommended to have acomplete scrubbing of the incoming wet gas always contaminated by solids and free liquids(hydrocarbons, water and specially brine, compressor oil, drilling mud, corrosion inhibitor, pipedirt, formation solids, etc. ).

    Scrubbing system shall be located close to the absorber to prevent condensate forming in theinlet scrubber-absorber line due to pressure drop and ambient temperature effect (line shall beinsulated). Scrubbing system is composed of:

    1. a knock-out drum, not part of the package unit, to separate the liquid slugs carried by thewet gas,

    2. a filter/separator installed downstream the knock-out drum, to remove liquid droplets or dustparticles contained in the gas leaving the knock-out drum (carry over).

    Filter/separator may be part or not of the glycol package unit. If the supplier of the glycolpackage unit must guarantee the efficiency of this unit it is a good practice to considerfilter/separator part of the package unit.

    Note:

    1. knock-out drum is a 3 phases separator.

    2. It is not recommended to integrate an inlet separator at the bottom of the dehydrationcolumn (or contactor) instead of the scrubbing system.

    5.2.1.2 Gas filter/separator description and performance

    This filter (horizontal or vertical) will be a two stages filter (solids filtrations and coalescing of thesmall liquid droplets: cartridges - liquid removing: vane pack) and will achieve the followingfunctions:

    Removing of the solid particules. This filter will be designed to remove 99.0 % of theparticules with a diameter greater than 1 micron.

    Coalescing of the liquid fog contained in the gas and removing with high efficiency thecoalesced droplets. This filter will be designed to remove 99.0 % of the liquid droplets witha diameter greater than 0.3 microns. If not specified in the particular specification, this

    filter will be also design for:

    Liquid content of the inlet gas: 1 m3/106 Nm3of gas or 1000 ppm wt

    Liquid content of the outlet gas: 5 liter/106 Nm3of gas or 5 ppm wt.

    Operating pressure of the first section is equal at the operating pressure of the second sectionplus the gas pressure drop through the cartridges. Since the operating pressures in thetwo sections can be different by 0.5 bar (with fouled cartridges), each section shall be equippedwith its own liquid outlet and its instrumentation.

    No spare is required for this service, but a by-pass of the filter with isolating valves will beinstalled.

    This filter will be equipped with a quick opening closure. It will be also equipped withdepressurization and nitrogen inerting facilities. Provision for future methanol injection will beprovided in the two liquid outlets.

    Ladders and/or platform brackets are provided.Heat tracing of level instruments has to be carefully studied to avoid hydrates formation in deadends during cold season under wind effects.

    Minimum instrumentation:

    Level controller with automatic level control valve on the two liquid outlets

    Level glasses

    Low low level switch with emergency shutdown valve on the two liquid outlets

    High high level switch with alarm on the second stage

    High differential pressure gauge/alarm

    Pressure safety valve

    One BDV (if required).

    5.2.2 Dehydration column

    The glycol contactor is normally fitted with structured packing. Nevertheless bubble cap trayscontactor can be considered for special cases (onshore project with low gas pressure).

    An overdesign of 10 % on the maximum operating gas flow is to be considered for the design ofthe dehydration column, to take into account gas flow fluctuations.

    Gas distribution system at the bottom of the contactor and top glycol distributor tray shall be

    guaranteed by the structured packing Vendor. An inlet divertor and a tray must be fitted at thegas inlet section. Their design has to insure a good gas distribution through the structuralpacking by avoiding channelling.

    The minimum glycol surge (NLL-LAL) time in the dehydration column is 10 minutes (seefigure 7 Liquid levels in drums and contactor).

    For contactor levels could be installed in the hemispherical head with a minimum distance of300 mm for the LALL/bottom distance.

    The diameter of the column and the height of structured packing are calculated and guaranteedby the SUPPLIER/MANUFACTURER of structured packing.

    The minimum height of structured packing is 3 meters.

    The minimum number of trays is 6.

    At the top of the dehydration column, a mist eliminator to eliminate 99.0 % of droplets largerthan three microns plus a vane pack are installed to minimize glycol looses which are

    guaranteed for less than 10 l/106

    Nm3

    (0.07 USG/MMSCF).The distance between the top of the structured packing and the mist eliminator must be at least1200 mm. The distance between the mist eliminator and the vane pack must be at least400 mm.

    Any liquid collected from the vane pack shall be drain to avoid reentrainement and foaming.

    The distance between vane pack and top must be at least as shown on figure 6.

    Installation of an external filter downstream of the contactor to minimize TEG looses could beconsidered for particular projects (Supply of glycol is difficult. Liquid glycol is not acceptable inthe treated gas).

    Insulation of the dehydration section has to be provided to avoid hydrocarbon condensationduring cold season, specially in hot countries, or in country with heavy rains.

    Instead of insulation, protection against heavy rain could be acceptable for tropical countries.

    In any case, insulation supports are provided.

    Ladders and/or platforms brackets are provided.

    Heat tracing of level instruments has to be carefully studied in dead ends during cold seasonand/or under wind effects.

    316L stainless steel lining up to one meter in the structured packing bed shall be provided. Incase of presence of H2S, the whole column should be preferably 316L SS cladded (advise fromTDO/TEC corrosion specialist is required, depending on the H2S content).

    Skimming device must be installed inside the glycol column to remove possible hydrocarboncarried over from the upstream equipment (bypass of the inlet gas filter) or condensed in theglycol contactor (retrograde condensation) (see figure 2 Typical PID of dehydration columnand glycol final cooler).

    Interface level glass shall be installed to allow hydrocarbon skimming.

    Minimum instrumentation:

    Level controller with automatic level control valve (See note)

    Level glass

    Low low level switch with emergency shutdown valve on the glycol outlet

    High high level switch

    Differential pressure gauge with alarm high across the structured packing

    Pressure safety valve

    BDV (if required): two BDV's upstream and downstream of the packing shall be preferablyinstalled to avoid high flow rate through the packing (refer to PID figure 2).

    Note: Level control valve for glycol outlet should be preferably located on the regeneration skidto avoid vibration due to long two phases flowline.

    5.3 Glycol regeneration skid

    5.3.1 Flash drumThis drum is an horizontal three phases separator.

    Operating temperature of the flash drum must be included in the range 70 to 100C. Ifnecessary, one rich/lean glycol heat exchanger must be installed upstream the flash drum.

    Normal operating pressure of the flash drum is 2 to 5 bar g.

    An impactor is located on the glycol inlet, vortex breaker is located on glycol outlet.

    The design of this flash drum can be based on:

    Either a vertical weir to separate TEG from liquid hydrocarbons, in this case a vortexbreaker is located on liquid hydrocarbons outlet

    Or a liquid hydrocarbon outlet formed by a vertical pipe connected to an horizontal pipe,located inside the flash drum at a level higher than the TEG high high level switch. Thetwo ends of the horizontal pipe are closed and several ports are located on the lower partof the pipe. Total area of the ports is twice the area of the nozzle.
