New model, which cover the full range of dehydration-plant operating conditions and wide range of experimental data results, estimate the amount of CH 4 , C 2 H 6 and C 3 H 8 absorbed per volume of triethylene glycol (TEG) circulated vs. the reduced partial pressure of light Alkanes and the absorber reduced temperature. TEG has a tendency to remove the hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon solubility is a major factor when considering the use of a physical solvent. Quantifying this amount of absorption is critical in order to minimize hydrocarbon losses or to optimize hydrocarbon recovery. This article provides comparisons with experimental data.
