An improved method and apparatus for drying a natural gas stream such as water containing natural gas introduces triethylene glycol into a high speed gas stream at a pressure in excess of that of the gas stream to achieve a drying effect by impaction and rapid expansion and turbulence in a mixing zone. The triethylene glycol and water are removed by a centrifugal separator.
