Q: Why is it important
that the moisture content of natural gas be minimized?
A: Excess moisture in natural gas pipelines can cause the following
problems (there are others): 1. As the gas passes through regulators
and valves, it will experience a pressure drop and a subsequent
temperature drop. Any moisture can freeze and result in blockages.
2. Light gases can form hydrate compounds in the presence of water.
These hydrate compounds can also represent a blockage danger. 3. The
carbon dioxide and/or H2S can form corrosive agents if allowed to
mix with water. 4. Excess moisture can greatly reduce the heating
value of the natural gas. 5. Liquid slugs can form and pass through
separators and severally damage compressors.
