Abstract: Water in both liquid and vapor phases Is norlaally present in the production of natural gas. If the water vapor content is lowered such that it can be maintained in a vapor state under all operating conditions, the problems would be minor concerning Its effect on transmission equipment and volume measurement for custody transfer of natural gas. Operations have indicated that less than seven pounds of water per million cubic feet of gas is relatively harmless, thus resulting in attainment of maximum efficiency. In the current period of greater demands for gas, short supplies, decreasing reserves. Increased environmental protection requirements and high capital costs, a big problem of the natural gas industry has become one of making available to the market as efficiently as possible every cubic foot of gas obtainable, Water can Impose severe penalties to be suffered by the gas industry due to its detrimental effects on operations beginning at the wellhead and throughout the transmission system to its final destination at the market. Water is probably the most common undesirable and detrimental injurlty contained in a gas stream. Yet, those involved in the production and transportation of gas cannot satisfactorily agree on how, where and to what degree this Water should be removed.
