ALCO Inc. products

Glycol dehydrators are used in the natural gas industry to remove water from natural gas to prevent the formation of hydrates, corrosion and maximize pipeline efficiency. ALCO has been designing and building glycol dehydrators for over 40 years and have built well over 2000 units. These units range in size from 1.0 mmscfd (28.3 103m3/d) to over 120 mmscfd (3,398 103m3/d). Alco can provide a custom designed unit or for a quick delivery we have a stock program for the more common 16” (406 mm) to 36” (914 mm) glycol contactor sizes. They have been installed all over the world from the Arctic Circle to the Tropics and from an offshore to a desert environment.

If you have Acid Gas (H2S and CO2) in your stream and you need to remove it, depending on the concentrations present, removal is normally achieved by an amine process; ALCO has been designing and building amine sweetening plants for over 40 years and has built numerous units ranging in size from 5.0 mmscfd (141.6 103m3/d) to over 150 mmscfd (4,247 103m3/d). Using a variety of amines (MEA, DEA, DGA, MDEA and MDEA based proprietary amines) and amine flowrates from 5 usgpm to over 1000 usgpm we can customize each facility to meet your needs. They have been installed all over the world in arctic, tropical or desert conditions.
