The State Service for Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Finance and Economy of Turkmenistan has officially registered and issued a certificate for a technology titled “Innovative Method for Regenerating Thick Liquid Diethylene Glycol Using Alternative Energy Sources.”

This innovative solution was developed by experts from the Energy Production and Energy Saving Laboratory of the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan — M. Hudayberdiyev, R. Esedulaev, D. Gadamov, and A. Pirmedov. The technology primarily aims to enhance the efficiency of diethylene glycol regeneration in oil and gas condensate fields.

In natural gas, water vapor under certain pressure and temperature conditions combines with methane to form hydrates, which cause pipeline blockages and equipment damage. To prevent these issues, diethylene glycol is widely used as a gas drying agent. The importance of this new development lies in the necessity to maintain the purity of the absorbent at 99% or higher, which is crucial for precise and efficient operation.

This innovative solution is based on a method of creating a thin layer of thick liquid diethylene glycol through the use of energy at specialized facilities. This approach reduces energy consumption, prevents heat loss, and minimizes negative environmental impact. Additionally, the technology does not emit carbon dioxide or other harmful gases.

As a result, this new solution offers an environmentally friendly and economically beneficial approach that not only improves the effectiveness of natural gas drying but also contributes significantly to the sustainable development of the energy sector. It also helps enhance oil flow and remove oily-paraffin deposits from pipelines.
