The article offers information on the advantages of ethanol-to-ethylene process that effects operating margins in technology marketplace. It discusses two steps of ethanol-to-ethylene process which includes partial dehydration to diethyl ether and water and slower dehydration of the ether to produce ethylene.

The article focuses on the use of analytical tools top investigate the underperformance of liquefied natural gas (LNG) molecular sieve. It says that a case study of molecular sieve deactivation shows that careful analysis is crucial to address the cause of operational problems at the dehydration unit. It states that deep removal of water is done by molecular sieve adsorbents in the dehydration unit (DHU) which is operated in continuous manner and operated at with fixed cycle time.

The article offers information on emergency depressurization which is an important method of safeguarding facilities in the emergency including fire or an exothermic runaway reaction from catastrophic failure of equipment and loss of containment.It mentions that the gas processing plant is divided into various sections including gas dehydration unit, gas sweetening unit and emergency shutdown valves (SVSs).

The article discusses an alternative route introduced by MIT chemists Michael B. Geeson and Christopher C. Cummins to make organophosphorus compounds without the usage of white phosphorus as an intermediate. It talks about the reaction which involves dehydration of phosphoric acid by sodium chloride to produce trimetaphosphate. This approach can avoid dependence on white phosphorus for synthesis of critical chemicals.

The article focuses on development of process for sugar conversion from biomass into butadiene through researchers of different institutes such as University of Delaware; and collaboration of dehydration along with ring-opening reactions in conversion process.

The article offers brief information on the natural gas dehydration system known as cMIST from Exxon Mobil Corp.

The article discusses concept of process modeling used in the gas processing industry as it supports technical and business needs of the industry. Various factors of the gas processing systems that are managed by the modeling includes dehydration, acid gas treatment, pipeline hydraulics and liquefaction. Benefits of process modeling includes reduced energy consumption, increased capacity of heat exchanger and innovation in acid gas cleaning model.

The article offers brief information on various commercial products including differential Venturi flowmeters from the Primary Flow Signal, Smallworld maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) calculator from GE Digital Energy and molecular sieve dehydration system from SpectraSensors Inc.

The article focuses on the first direct method developed by chemists in Japan that are intended to be used when preparing and synthesizing poly(o-arylene)s. Topics discussed include the discovery of arynes in 1902, the potential use of polymers and its properties in developing thin films and nanocarbon materials, and the use of dehydration method and bicyclic alkenes polymerization in the formulation of poly(o-arylene)s.

The article discusses content and degree of dehydration of sulfate agent in cement and quantitative determination of gypsum, hemihydrate and anhydrate levels through joint application methods including thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and wet chemistry.

The article offers information on contact lens comfort. Topics discussed include the silicone hydrogel (SiH) lens, contact lens dropouts due to discomfort, and correlation of contact lens dehydration with water content for SiH and hydrogel contact lenses. It also mentions several studies concerning contact lenses and the symptoms of dryness and discomfort.

The article discusses an experiment on the shape dynamics of contact lenses during off-eye dehydration. It details how the study was conducted wherein four daily disposable contact lenses were examined in a controlled laboratory setting which include BiotrueONEday and 1-Dat Acuvue TruEye. It adds that a photographs of the lenses were taken every two minutes over a 20-minute period. The results reportedly revealed varying amounts of evidence of dehydration once exposed to air.
