Abstract: Monitoring the hydrocarbon dewpoint of natural gas is becoming ever more important. We have collected more than 20 years worth of data from our customers who use our analyzers in a few different countries with different cli- mates. We have analyzed this data to look for trends and other information that may be useful to the industry. Our customer base includes pipeline operators, gas pro- cessors, storage operators, as well as power plants. While these customers are from distinct segments of the gas industry, they face similar issues in controlling the hydro- carbon dewpoint of their natural gas streams. The range of observed dewpoints show strong correla- tion with ambient temperatures. In general, hydrocarbon dewpoints are higher in warmer climates, while in colder climates, the dewpoints are usually lower. However anom- alies, manifested by high hydrocarbon dewpoints, pose a significant challenge to pipelines and natural gas users regardless of climate.
