New technology for sustainable energy development will help increase efficiency

The State Service for Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Finance and Economy of Turkmenistan has registered the copyright and issued a certificate for the technology "Innovations in the regeneration of water-saturated diethylene glycol using alternative energy sources."

The development, created with the participation of M. Hudayberdiyev, R. Esedulaev, D. Gadamov, and A. Pirmedov from the Laboratory of Energy Production and Conservation at the International Scientific and Technological Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, is aimed at improving the process of regenerating diethylene glycol at oil and gas condensate fields.

Water vapor in the natural gas, under certain pressure and temperature conditions, forms methane hydrates, which leads to pipeline blockages and equipment damage. To prevent these problems, diethylene glycol is widely used as a natural gas dehydrator. The relevance of the invention is driven by the need to ensure an uninterrupted supply of absorbent with a concentration of 99% and higher, which is critically important for efficient and highly precise operation.

The innovative technology is based on a promising method of creating a thin layer of water-saturated diethylene glycol using energy from special storage units. This reduces energy consumption, prevents thermal degradation, and minimizes negative environmental impact. The process does not emit carbon dioxide or other harmful substances.

Thus, this technology offers an environmentally clean and economically beneficial solution that will not only increase the efficiency of natural gas dehydration but also contribute to the sustainable development of the energy sector. It also helps improve oil flow and eliminates paraffin-resin blockages in pipelines.
