An analysis of the operation of an adsorption plant for drying petroleum gas at the Kenlyk field was carried out. The adsorption process is characterized by versatility, which allows simultaneous drying and purification of gas from various components, as well as high efficiency. The organization of associated petroleum gas drying in adsorbers simplifies the gas treatment technology. This is evidenced by the absence of a significant amount of moisture, which forms blockage of pipelines with ice plugs after throttling of petroleum gas. The parameters of operation, advantages and disadvantages of the gas drying unit for associated petroleum gas at the Kenlyk field are determined. Based on the analysis of the operation of the adsorption drying unit, a three-section scheme of the oil gas adsorption drying unit is proposed. In this case, the non-working part of the adsorbent layer is reduced, respectively, the energy costs to overcome the hydraulic resistance of this layer are reduced. During adsorption through the thickness of the adsorbent layer, only the dynamic part of the adsorbent layer actively works, while the gas passes through the rest of the adsorbent layer (not the working part) unchanged. These processes occur both during adsorption and during regeneration of the adsorbent. The height of the section of the adsorption apparatus was determined, which ensures high drying rates during the entire period of operation of the adsorbent, also to prevent the formation of bypass channels and voids in the adsorber. To assess the economic feasibility of the proposed scheme, an approximate calculation of the cost of depreciation, operating, energy and capital costs of the existing and proposed adsorption plant was made. It is shown that the use of the proposed three-section plant is more economically feasible than the existing adsorption plant by 63.6%.
