GasDry Prime
Gas Dry Prime is a low-cost desiccant for meeting basic natural gas dehydration requirements. GasDry Prime is often used to dry fuel gas in applications where fuel and instrumentation lines are not exposed to extremely low ambient temperatures. GasDry Prime is also used as a primary drying agent when several desiccant gas dryers are piped in a series.
For its affordability and effectiveness at preventing condensation within a gas line, many owners of residential gas wells rely on GasDry Prime.
When used in a properly sized desiccant natural gas dehydrator, GasDry Prime will remove sufficient water vapor to establish a 55% relative humidity in the gas line.
GasDry Prime is a hard tablet formed from hygroscopic materials that attract and hold moisture. The surface 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 Prime are non-toxic and fully soluble in water.

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 natural gas dehydration 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 natural gas stream, lowering the water dew point.
GasDry desiccants for natural gas dehydration help 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
