摘要: Models of an absorber for dehydration natural gas using triethylene glycol are presented. The models were developed by applying the law conservation mass and energy to predict variation water content temperature liquid with time along packing height. integrated numerically finite divided difference scheme incorporated into MATLAB code. results obtained agreed reasonably well industrial plant data from SPDC TEG unit in Niger-Delta, Nigeria. Model prediction showed a percentage deviation 8.65% 3.41% 9.18% exit liquid, respectively.
