Keywords:

This article analyzes the scientific and practical aspects of using local sorbent materials in the adsorption drying process of hydrocarbon gases. Since moisture in natural gas and other hydrocarbon gases leads to corrosion, hydrate formation, and a decrease in technological efficiency in industrial processes, their deep drying is important. The study examined the physicochemical properties and adsorption capabilities of sorbents obtained from local raw materials such as bentonite, natural zeolite (clinoptilolite), diatomite, and activated carbon. Based on the analysis of the literature, the moisture absorption capacity, regeneration stability, and economic efficiency of these materials were compared. The results obtained show that local sorbents can be an alternative to imported materials in the process of drying gases. It is also substantiated that their use on an industrial scale is technically and economically promising.
