The issue of effective gas drying becomes especially significant due to the increasing demand for LNG, driven by the energy transition and environmental requirements. Deep adsorption drying is necessary to prevent equipment corrosion, hydrate formation, and to enhance the overall efficiency of production. Improving drying methods and using highly efficient adsorbents contribute to increased reliability and reduced costs in LNG production.
Using modern scientific approaches and laboratory equipment, the main characteristics of adsorbents necessary for assessing their suitability for use in real production processes were investigated.
Patterns of the influence of chemical composition, pore size, and thermal regimes on the ability of adsorbents to retain moisture and remove it from natural gas were identified.
One of the most important conclusions of the study is the confirmation of the competitiveness of adsorbents produced in Russia compared to foreign analogs, in some cases demonstrating better performance.
The results obtained are of significant interest to the scientific community, engineering technologists, and managers of enterprises involved in LNG production, as they provide a scientific basis for the modernization of existing facilities and the design of new complexes.
