Annotation:

Adsorption gas dehydration is one of the important technological processes when producing liquefied natural gas (LNG), field preparation of natural gas for pipeline transportation, chemical gas processing and petrochemistry. The article presents the results of the technological calculation of the process of natural gas adsorption drying before liquefaction when producing LNG for five different adsorbents of domestic manufacturers. For each of these cases, the required amount of the adsorbent, the main dimensions of the apparatus, the calculation of the regeneration and cooling gas costs, heat costs, etc. were determined. Based on the calculation results, the analysis was carried out for the main indicators of the process.
