1 INTRODUCTION
Dehydration is the process of removing water from a gas and/or liquid to ensure no condensed
water is present in the system. On the other hand, inhibition is the process of adding a certain
chemical to the condensed water so that hydrates cannot be formed.

1.1 Purpose of this Manual

1.2 Product Information

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The scope of this package is to remove water content from the wet Feed Gas to achieve a water
dew point of less than 5oC at 40 bar(a). Water is removed using Tri-Ethylene Glycol (TEG) in the
Gas Dehydration Column (3100-VE-001). The Gas Dehydration System (Unit 310) and Glycol
Regeneration System (Unit 380) are both essential systems in the dehydration process.
The process workflow for this package starts with Rich TEG flowing from the bottom of the Gas
Dehydration Column (3100-VE-001) to be pre heated in the TEG Pre Heater Coil (3800-HR-001).
The TEG Pre Heater Coil is installed at top section of the Still Column (3800-VE-001).
Consequently, the Rich TEG is heated in the TEG Heater (3800-HA-001) where the Rich TEG is
heated by heat exchanged with the hot Lean TEG from the Lean/Rich TEG Exchanger (3800-HA-
002). The hot Rich TEG is then send to the Flash Vessel (3800-VA-001) where the dissolved gas
or light ends are released and the solved liquid hydrocarbon are separated. The released gas is
sent to the Sour Gas Compression System (Unit 360), while the separated hydrocarbon liquid is
sent intermittently to the Closed Drain System (Unit 550). The Rich TEG which settles at the
bottom of the Flash Vessel (3800-VA-001) is then filtered in the TEG Cartridge Filters (3800-CL-
001-A/B), followed by TEG Charcoal Filter (3800-CN-001) and finally in the Post Filter (3800-CL-
002). Impurities such as solids can occur from corrosion within the glycol system and thus they
should be removed. As such, these filters are essential to maintain the condition of the
recirculating glycol in as clean as possible.
The clean Rich TEG will be directed to the Lean/Rich TEG Exchanger (3800-HA-002) where heat
is further exchanged with the hot Lean TEG to a temperature up to 160oC. The Rich TEG is then
flowed into the Still Column (3800-VE-001) which is installed at the top of the TEG Reboiler
(3800-VA-004). An Electrical Coil (3800-HR-001) is fitted inside the TEG Reboiler Vessel where
the Rich TEG is heated up to a temperature of 204.4oC. By boiling off the Rich TEG in the still
and reboiler to near its boiling point (TEG degrades beyond 204.4oC), the glycol virtually
releases all of the absorbed water and other components and thus regeneration is
accomplished. To further improve the purity of the glycol by removing more light ends, a
Stripping Column (3800-VE-002) is added to facilitate the function of the TEG Reboiler, utilising
Fuel Gas from Unit 420 as stripping gas. Thus, the lean TEG leaving the TEG Reboiler enters the
top section of the Stripping Column while Fuel Gas enters from the bottom of the stripper. The
top product of the stripper is recycled back into the TEG Reboiler while the bottom product of
the stripper enters the Surge Tank (3800-VA-003) via gravity flow.
The lean TEG stream is then directed to the TEG Booster Pumps (3800-PA-002-A/B), electrically
motor driven where the fluids are pumped to the Lean/Rich TEG Exchanger (3800-HA-002).

Lean TEG enters the shell side of the exchanger where it gets cooled by exchanging heat with
the Rich TEG in the tube side of the exchanger. Thereafter, the lean TEG enters the shell side of
the TEG Heater (3800-HA-001) where it is further cooled by exchanging heat with the Rich TEG
in the tube section. The cooled Lean TEG is then sent to the Glycol Storage Vessel (3800-VA-
002). Since there will be unforeseeable losses of TEG in the system, glycol make-up is achieved
by means of an external supply of TEG fed directly to the Glycol Storage Vessel (3800-VA-002).
The Lean TEG needs to be fed back to the TEG Dehydration Column, as such the pressure of the
fluid needs to be increased by using the TEG Circulation Pumps (3800-PB-001-A/B). Before being
introduced back into the TEG Dehydration Column, the Lean TEG will be cooled in the Lean TEG
Cooler (3800-HA-004).
Evaporated water and glycol carried over in the vapour phase of the Still Column are eventually
sent to the Off Gas Condenser (3800-HA-003) where it is cooled before it is sent to the
Overhead Condenser KO Drum (3800-VN-001). Off gas is separated from liquid phase prior to
sending the gas to the Sour Gas Compression System (Unit 360) while the liquid phase is sent to
the Water Injection System (Unit 510).
The proposal of the TEG Regeneration package supplied meets all performance specification
mentioned in the package specification.
