Recent or proposed changes in federal an state clean air laws and regulations will affect the operation of glycol dehydration units used to remove water vapor from natural gas. These laws and regulations will limit the amount of aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene (BTEX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that may be emitted into their from the glycol regenerator still vent. This article presents an overview of new laws and regulations, as well as process control systems that may be used to control and reduce the BTEX and VOC emissions. Flare, incineration units, aerial coolers, recycle units and the efficient R-BTEX process are described.
