Abstract

Absorption by means of triethylene glycol is one of the most popular methods for
natura I gas dehydration. In spite of this popularity, thermodynamic modelling of the
system TEG-water is still rather inaccurate, especially with regard to systerns at high
temperature and high TEG eoncentration, which are typical conditions in the glycol
regeneration unit. Available experimental data were selected and correlated by means of
a thermodynamic model based on the Peng-Robinson equation of state, Obtained results
show that the model provides a good representation of experimental data and leads to
reliable prevision on typical plant data.
