PLD Pipeline Dryers are single-tower deliquescent vessels designed for economical and effective natural gas dehydration. Wet gas enters the bottom of the vessel where velocity is reduced and entrained water droplets separate into the claim area. Gas then flows upward through a bed of deliquescent desiccant tablets that slowly dissolve as they absorb moisture vapor. The resulting brine solution drains to the bottom and will not freeze above -20°F, eliminating the need for heat tracing or electricity.
