Hydrocarbon Dehydration
Use OxyChem’s almond-shaped PELADOW® DG Calcium Chloride Briquettes as an effective desiccant to remove water from gas and liquid hydrocarbon streams such as natural gas, propane, kerosene, and diesel fuel.
Where To Use
Calcium chloride effectively removes water from natural gas, propane, kerosene, diesel, and other hydrocarbon streams. In a dehydrator, the hydrocarbon flows upward through a bed containing a calcium chloride desiccant for dehydration. The hydrocarbon’s dissolved water is converted into a liquid calcium chloride brine solution, which is drained off the bottom of the dehydration unit.
OxyChem’s almond-shaped PELADOW® DG Calcium Chloride Briquettes are specially designed for increased surface area contact with the hydrocarbon to enhance drying and support hydrocarbon flow through the drying bed. In contrast, drying beds filled with calcium chloride chips and chunks may produce a less uniform flow, which results in reduced drying performance.
