FIELD: process engineering.
SUBSTANCE: for removal of siloxanes from gas containing siloxanes and water, gas is expanded to cool gas down and to freeze water contained in gas. Then siloxanes and frozen water are removed from expanded and cooled down gas. Method may comprises gas compression before its expansion. Gas expansion stage may include gas expansion in turbine. Besides, it may include using excitation mechanism for actuating compressor and turbine. Ice and siloxanes may be removed from gas by means of cyclone separator.
EFFECT: removal of siloxanes from gas.
