Experimental and computer simulation studies of dehydration on microporous adsorbent of natural gas used as motor fuel

摘要

An experimental and theoretical study of the dehydration of natural gas using microporous silica beds for motor fuel technology in extreme winter climates is described. Analytical solutions to the problem of non-isothermal adsorption and desorption are based on Heaviside's operational method and Laplace integral transform, but the development of calculations is quite original. Experimental and modeling distributions of moisture and temperatures of gas at the inlet and outlet of the silica beds for each adsorption - desorption phase at different times are presented. The distribution of moisture within the beds for the full dehydration - regeneration cycle is determined.
