Abstract

Dehydration process is an important focal unit in offshore gas processing to avoid industrial problems accompanied by hydrated gas processing and pipeline transport system such as corrosion and hydrates formation. The gas dehydration process has been entirely simulated and optimized in Aspen HYSYS V8.8 using cubic plus association equation of state thermodynamic package and compared to the simulation results obtained by using glycol package which is developed particularly for gas dehydration modeling.
