exporting gas from a platform.
exporting gas from a platform.
(OP)
Why is it essential to dehydrate gas before it is compressed and exported from the platform?
Also, what special considerations must be given to the design and operation of the gas export pipeline if the gas contains substantial amounts of carbon dioxide?
Thanks to everyone.

RE: exporting gas from a platform.
Hydrate will only form if there are liquid water. That's why dehydrate the gas to ensure no liquid water under the worse condition.
Also CO2 form acid when mixed with liquid water which is corrosive to the pipeline material. Therefore removing the water helps remove the corrosion problem.
