GasDry Max

GasDry Max is the highest performing absorbent deliquescent desiccant available on the market, for natural gas dehydration. GasDry Max can meet pipeline moisture specifications and is ideal for the most demanding natural gas dehydration applications, where natural gas producers and transporters need to prevent gas line freeze-ups, hydrate formation and condensation while operating under very cold ambient conditions.

In many cases, GasDry Max can be used to dehydrate natural gas to meet pipeline moisture specifications.

When used in a properly sized natural gas dehydration vessel, GasDry Max will remove sufficient water vapor in the natural gas to establish a 10 - 13% relative humidity in the gas line.

GasDry Max is a hard tablet formed from hygroscopic materials that attract and hold moisture. The surface of the tablet slowly dissolves (deliquesces) and forms a solution. This solution falls to the claim area of the dryer vessel to be drained.

The materials in GasDry Max are non-toxic and fully water soluble.
GasDry Max is suitable for use when the gas temperature is at or below
100 F.

What are deliquescent desiccants?

To deliquesce means to dissolve, and desiccant is a term for any drying agent with water attracting properties. So a deliquescent desiccant is, literally, a drying agent that dissolves.

GasDry deliquescent desiccants from Van Gas Technologies are formed from proprietary blends of hygroscopic (water attracting) materials. These materials are processed into dense and evenly shaped tablets for optimal use in gas dryer vessels.

When exposed to entrained water vapor (humidity) in a saturated gas stream, GasDry desiccants activate. The tablets absorb vapor from the gas, and the tablets themselves gradually dissolve into a solution.

GasDry desiccants reduce the humidity in a saturated gas stream, lowering the water dew point.

What are the benefits of using deliquescent desiccants to dry natural gas?
GasDry desiccants help natural gas producers and transporters by:

  • Preventing fuel line and control gas freeze-ups
  • Meeting pipeline moisture specifications
  • Preventing hydrate formation
  • Reducing emissions from traditional TEG dehydrators
  • Minimizing expertise required from operators and service technicians
  • Delivering reliably dry gas at remote locations
