  • Patent number: 4026681
    Abstract: A gas dehydrator system for removing salty water from natural gas, and thereafter subsequently removing the salt and water from the dehydrating agent. The salty water is removed from the gas in a scrubber. The water is then distilled from the dehydrating agent, leaving a salty dehydrating agent from which the salt is crystallized before the agent is recirculated to the scrubber. This expedient prevents undesired crystallization of salt from occurring within the various components of the system.
