METHOD OF LOAD DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN GAS PRODUCTION COMPLEX GAS DRIER SHOP PROCESS LINES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B01D53/26 G05D27/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of natural gas, in particular, to gas drying with application of ACS PE to complex gas processing of gas condensate deposits in Far North. Gas flow rate ACS PE means are controlled in every i_th process line of said complex and compared with maximum permissible magnitudes and to automatically maintain said flow rate to conform with relationship Hydraulic resistance of absorbers of every gas processing line is estimated. Only inspected absorbers with completely recovered serviceability are operated at maximum efficiency. Absorbers operated for a long time run in partial load mode. For this ACS PE defines the correction for absorber output ΔQ_i with allowance for parameters the measurement of which is impossible or unreasonable. Said correction is used to set and to maintain the output of every i_th absorber at the level calculated by the formula Q _{result. i}=Q_i-ΔQ_i, where Q_i is the design magnitude of required efficiency of i_th process line. Note here that ACS PE follows the conditions consisting in that total output of gas production complex equals the magnitude set of central dispatcher service for gas production complex.

EFFECT: efficient gas drying at minimum power and material input, decreased number of personnel.
