Discharge Pressure
F1= P1A1 F1= P20.8 A1
The shaft area is 20% the piston area. Dry Glycol Discharge Pressure is 25% greater than absorber pressure. About 25 to 30 psig is.needed. to overcome the pump friction plus any other pressure drops along the dry glycol discharge pressure line.

Advantages: Long life / high cycles Elimintates the use of a Liquid Level Controller Does not requiere external source of power. Low Linear velocity in Piston ORings Completely sealed system prevents glycol loss. Disadvantages: Does not leak when failing Gas Emissions to atmosphere Only two moving parts High Operating Cost due to emissions Pulsation Elastomers have to be compatible with process fluid Check Valves wear Can mix dry glycol with wet glycol if piston seal fails
Typical methane emissions are about 1,000 cubic feet (Mcf) for each million cubic feet(MMcf) of gas treated.
Replacing gas-assisted pumps with electric pumps increases system efficiency and significantly reduces emissions. For example, a 10 MMcf per day dehydrator could save up to 3,000 Mcf of gas a year, worth $21,000.

How an Energy Exchange pump works Sizing an Energy Exchange Pump Different Dehy configurations for Energy Exchange Pump and Electric Pump. Energy Exchange Glycol Pumps have gas consumption and environmental concerns. Electric Glycol Pump can pump Corrosive and Erosive Fluids. Electric Instrumentation is essential to avoid emissions to the atmosphere. It is desirable to work with the Electric Pump and use the Energy Exchange pump as a Backup New Kimray Dehydration Technology using Electric Instrumentation.
