  2. Glycol dehydration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_dehydration

    An example process flow diagram for this system. Lean, water-free glycol (purity >99%) is fed to the top of an absorber (also known as a "glycol contactor") where it is contacted with the wet natural gas stream. The glycol removes water from the natural gas by physical absorption and is carried out the bottom of the column.

  3. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    Schematic representation of a twin tower desiccant compressed air dryer. Desiccant dryers, sometimes referred to as absorption dryers, operate by absorbing water vapor into a porous media with a high affinity for water. [12] [13] These types of dryers are also referred to as absorption systems or getters. Because these dryers get and hold the ...

  4. Desiccant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiccant

    One measure of desiccant efficiency is the ratio (or percentage) of water storable in the desiccant relative to the mass of desiccant. Another measure is the residual relative humidity of the air or other fluid being dried. For drying gases, a desiccant's performance can be precisely described by the dew point of the dried product. [1]

  5. Oxygen scavenger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_scavenger

    The first patent for an oxygen scavenger used an alkaline solution of pyrogallic acid in an air-tight vessel. [7] [8]Modern scavenger sachets use a mixture of iron powder and sodium chloride. [8]

  6. Molecular sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_sieve

    Adsorption of water in sodium aluminosilicate which is FDA approved (see below) used as molecular sieve in medical containers to keep contents dry and as food additive having E-number E-554 (anti-caking agent); Preferred for static dehydration in closed liquid or gas systems, e.g., in packaging of drugs, electric components and perishable ...

  7. Package boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_boiler

    A package boiler is a factory-made boiler. Package boilers are available in a range of standard designs. Package boilers are used for heating and act as a steam generator for small power purposes such as self-powered industrial plants. Package boilers are low pressure designs.

  8. Boiler design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_design

    Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilisation, drying, humidification and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for ...

  9. Glossary of boiler terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_boiler_terms

    erosion of a boiler's plates from the internal water space, particularly where there is a step inside the shell. This was a problem for early boilers made from lapped plates rather than butted plates, and gave rise to many boiler explosions. In later years it was a problem for the non-circular water drums of Yarrow boilers. Handhole
