Glycol Make Up System and Drain Vessel
Glycol from TEG drain vessel is pumped to TEG storage tank by TEG Drain Vessel Pump in the drain vessel. The lean glycol in the storage tank is used to make up loss of glycol in the regeneration system. TEG is pumped from the TEG storage Tank to the TEG accumulator vessel by TEG Make up pump. The TEG make up pump operates intermittenly with design capacity 5.5 m3/hr.

The Logic Behind The Magic." Glycol Dehydration System 7"
TEG Reboiler
Rich glycol from TEG Still column flows into the shell side of glycol reboiler. Hotoil comes from hot oil supply header is used as heating medium in reboiler tube side. The renegerated flows by gravity across the length of the TEG reboiler and enters the Stripping gas column operate at 204.4 degC at atmospheric pressure. TEG loss is reduced by increasing the flow of the rich TEG through tube side of TEG reflux condenser.
TEG Vent Exchanger
Water vapour from the shell side of the TEG reflux condenser passes through the shell side of an 8.36 kW double pipe type TEG Vent Exchanger before letting it go to the acid flare system. Water vapour is heated up to 150 degC by the hot oil passing through the tube side of the TEG vent exchanger for this purpose. The temperature of water vapor of the acid flare is controlled by an FC TC cascade control loop.
Stripping Gas Column
The use of Stripping gas column is provided to reduce the water content of the regenerated glycol by counter current contact with hot fuel gas flowing upward through the stripping gas column. The stripping gas also reduces the partial pressure of the vapour in the TEG reboiler. Hence increasing the regeneration capability of the TEG reboiler. Regenerated glycol flows from the bottom of the stripping gas column by gravity into the hairpin type Hot Lean Rich TEG exchanger where it is cooled to approximately 124.8 degC and then goes into the other haipin type Cold Lean Rich TEG Exchanger where it is further cooled to approximately 85.55 degC.
TEG Accumulation Vessel
Lean glycol from Cold Lean/Rich TEG exchanger is sent to the TEG accumulator vessel. The TEG accumulator vessel is sized for a 22.3 minutes residence time between low-low liquid level and high-high liquid level, of lean glycol at pump maximum capacity (33 USgpm). The TEG accumulatoe vessel provides storage capacity for the TEG circulation pumps.
TEG Circulation Pumps
The TEG circulation pumps are rotary gear type pumps, operating at normal discharge pressure of approximately 52.06 Barg. The lean glycol from the discharge of the TEG circulation pumps is sent to the 235.8 kW TEG cooler,
TEG Cooler
The TEG coller is an air cooler where the lean glycol is cooled to 48.25 degC and sent to the TEG contactor for re-use. 2x5 kW fans are used to cool the lean TEG

TEG Regeneration Package
TEG Reflux Condenser
TEG Reflux Condenser is located at the top of the TEG Still column and used to maintain the temperature of the steam leaving for condenser. Rich glycol flowing through the TEG reflux condenser coils is warmed to 49.48 degC by steam and glycol vapour present in the steam is condensed on the shell side.

TEG Overhead KO drum Control
TEG Overhead KO Drum Level Control
Gap Control is applied to the following level control.
On normal process valve, The control valve controlled normaly by level control. If the PV Rise Up Until Reach High Level Alarm. Controller will send command to control valve for 100% open. If the PV decrease until reach low level alarm, controller will send command to control valve for 0% Close (Shut Off).

TEG Overhead Knock Out Drum
Dehydrated gas leaves the Glycol contactor and fed to TEG Overhead KO drum. The dehydrated gas leaving top of the TEG Overhead knock out drum passes through a Mist eliminator to remove entrained glycol. The TEG Overhead KO drum is designed to operate at 44.44.26 barg and 45.97 degC. Gas from the TEG Overhead knock out drum is sent to Gas/Gas Exchanger. TEG recovered in the KO drum is sent to the TEG Flash Drum in the outlet line of the KO drum is controlled by a LV which is operated by on-off configuration

The Logic Behind The Magic." Glycol Dehydration System 1"
Sweet gas from Amine Overhead KO drum will flows to Triethylene Glycol Contactor where it will have its water contect reduced by contact with triethylene glycol solution. The Glycol unit consists of Glycol Contactor and Glycol Overhead Knock Out Drum.
Triethylene Glycol Contactor.
Sweet gas from Amine Overhead Gas Knock Out Drum is sent to the Glycol Contactor through the integral scrubber for removing free liquids, water and hydrocarbon condensate from the gas. Incoming gas is evenly distributed over the cross sectional area by an inlet distributor. In this distributor, inlet momentum of gas-liquid mixture is broken to enable disengagement of gas from liquid. The integral scrubber consists of mist eliminator to remove the free liquid present in the incoming gas. It is designed to operate at 45.16 barg at 43.85 - 444.25 degC. The hydrocarbon liquids from the separator leave from the bottom of the vessel. The flow is controlled by an LV
After the removal of free liquids, the gas enters the absorber section, Chimney trays are provided for proper distribution of the gas through the column. Dehydration of the gas takes place across height structured packing, against a counter current flow of lean Tri-Ethylene Glycol.
The dehydrated gas leaves to of the column passing through vane pack, mesh, and mist eliminator are provided to remove glycol before leaving the tower. The glycol is ditributed across the packing with high efficiency liquid distributor. As the glycol flows down the surface of the structured packing, it absorbs water from the gas. Rich glycol is collected on the top of the chimney tray and is discharged under level control valve LV to the TEG reflux condenser. Located in the TEG regeneration package.
