What
is a Heater
Treater?
A "Heater
Treater" is used in the oil and gas
production process for the purpose of
removing contaminants - typically being liquid hydrocarbons, water and produced
water - from natural gas. Heater Treaters are located at or near the well head
and also improve the quality of crude oil by removing the
contaminants from oil as well as from natural gas.
A heater treater typically combines the following components inside the heater treater:
a heater
free-water knockout
oil and gas separator

What
is Desiccant
Dehydration?
Desiccant
Dehydration is a "natural gas
treating" technology similar in the end result as other gas
processing technologies
including gas
dehydration or glycol
dehydration, with the exception that Desiccant
Dehydration does
not use amines. Desiccant
Dehydration
uses "adsorption" technology to "dry"
the natural gas.
Desiccant Dehydration using the adsorption typically consists of two (or more) adsorption towers. Each of these adsorption towers alternate between cycles wherein one tower is actively removing water/moisture from the gas stream, while the other adsorption tower is being "re-generated." Each of these adsorption towers are filled with a "desiccant" that can adsorb a limited amount of water and therefore require re-generation, typically by heat.
Standard desiccants include activated alumina or a granular silica gel material.
In the Desiccant Dehydration process, wet natural gas enters the adsorption towers, from the top and the wet natural gas flows down through the desiccant material, to the bottom. of the adsorption tower. As the wet natural gas passes around the desiccant material, water is separated from the natural gas which is "adsorbed" on the surface of these desiccant particles. By the time the natural gas reaches the bottom of the adsorption tower, over 98% of the water is adsorbed onto the desiccant material, leaving the dry gas to exit the bottom of the adsorption tower. After the desiccant in the active adsorption tower has adsorbed all the water/moisture it can, and reaches capacity, that active adsorption tower is shut down, and an adjacent adsorption tower then activates. During this time, the adsorption tower that has been shut down is "re-generated" and the water/moisture that was adsorbed by the desiccant is heated that vaporizes the water molecules, thereby "recharging" the desiccant and making it ready for use, when the adjacent adsorption tower has completed its cycle.

NO FOREIGN OIL!
“spending
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars every year for
oil, much of it from the Middle East, is just about the single stupidest
thing that modern society could possibly do. It’s very difficult to think of anything
more idiotic than that.” ~ R. James Woolsey, Jr., former Director of the CIA
According to R. James Woolsey, for Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, “The basic insight is to realize that global warming, the geopolitics of oil, and warfare in the Persian Gulf are not separate problems — they are aspects of a single problem, the West’s dependence on oil.”
