GLycol Dehydration
BoneDry™ Glycol Dehy
The Glycol Dehydration Solution for cryogenic process applications
OTSO’s BoneDry™ Glycol Dehy Takes on Mole Sieve
The BoneDry™ Dehy system’s revolutionary Patented Technology changes the perceived limits of glycol dehydration by meeting all dehydration specs using TEG.
Until now, mole sieve has been the only option for cryogenic spec dehydration. With the BoneDry Dehy™, glycol performance is extended to meet any dehydration spec.
The intent of the BoneDry™ Dehy is to make the use of mole sieve unnecessary in NGL plants.
How it Works
The BoneDry™ Dehy utilizes glycol to meet the stringent moisture specifications of cryogenic applications with 0.1 ppmv water in the process gas. This is achieved through patented methods, along with notable changes in Glycol contactor height, a combined still / stahl column, stripping gas, and reduced reboiler duty via OTSO’s proprietary Lifterator™ Column technology. All temperatures, pressures, and circulation rates are similar to that seen in a standard glycol dehydration unit.
BoneDry™ Dehy Advantages
- Substantial Unit Cost Savings
- Lower Installation Cost
- Lower Operating Cost
- Smaller Footprint
- Less Weight
- Continuous Process / No Plant Shutdowns
- Glycol is a continuous process; mole sieve is a batch process
- Emissions Reduction

DewDry™ Glycol Dehydration System
A new generation of Glycol Dehydration
OTSO’s Patent Pending DewDry™ Dehy System was created to replace conventional glycol dehydration units. The DewDry™ offers distinct advantages over traditional units, not only in drying performance but in the elimination of vapor emissions as well, making the DewDry™ the premier choice for drying in water and CO2 applications.
Glycol Regenerator
The DewDry™ eliminates the need for a flash gas separator. Until the 1970s, flash gas separators were not a part of glycol dehydration designs. They were added to minimize venting from the still and to remove hydrocarbons. The DewDry™ Dehy handles these two flash gas separator functions in other portions of the glycol regen, thereby making this separator unnecessary.

FallingWater™ Condenser
The FallingWater™ Condenser allows use of the contactor for heat exchange where water and BTEX condensing occurs with no appreciable pressure drop of the vent stream from the glycol still. Reliable cooling is provided through proprietary means via the heat exchanger of circulating water.
In combination with the pressurized reboiler, a vapor stream is created. Thereby giving our clients control over how the gas is managed. The vapor stream is suitable for feeding a burner or low-pressure compressor. In the event vapors must be flared, they can be delivered to a standard flare system rather than to a dedicated vapor combustor. BTEX and other condensed hydrocarbons are separated at a sufficient pressure to be flowed to a storage tank rather than an underground sump.
Standard Glycol Dehydrator System
OTSO Glycol Dehydrator Systems remove water vapor from the natural gas stream using physical absorption.
This process is critical to prevent hydrate formation from plugging the flow line and preventing corrosion, which causes equipment damage. To mitigate such problems, dehydration systems include a contactor tower and a glycol reconcentration system.
We offer custom engineer glycol dehydration systems for all flow rate sizes and match performance to meet each applications specific conditions.
Whether you opt for a standard, customized or OTSO’s Patent Pending DewDry™ Glycol Dehydration system, all our systems are economical and optimized for performance efficiency. Benefits
