4. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Glycol Dehydration Package consists of Gas Inlet Scrubber, Gas Inlet Filter Separator,
Scrubber and Glycol contactor (in tandem), Glycol/Gas exchanger and a Contactor
outlet scrubber. These equipments will have a bypass after the Gas Inlet Filter Separator
with the purpose of providing operative flexibility in case of needing to remove the Glycol
Contactor and Contactor outlet scrubber outside the line.
