Why dry

Natural Gas?
A simpler explanation:

7 lbs/MMSCF (moisture
in natural gas pipeline) =
54°F/11°C PDP @3600
PSIG/260 barg

It means:

01. CONDENSATION
at temperatures below
54°F/11°C

02. FREEZE-UPS at
temperatures below
32°F/0°C

03. FREEZE-UPS during


gas expansion

04. Liquid water +


natural gas IMPURITIES
= corrosive mixture in
piping and equipment
(premature failure)

05. CNG + moistures


= ACCURATE
measurement readings
