The dehydration technologies used for natural gas dehydration generally include cooling separation, solvent absorption dehydration, solid adsorption dehydration and membrane dehydration. The more commonly used is solid adsorption dehydration, and the more common solid adsorption dehydration method is molecular sieve dehydration tower technology.

The push plate pushes the spare dehydration adsorption plate to move. One side of the spare dehydration adsorption plate pushes the sealing plate. The sealing plate moves and squeezes the elastic column to retract into the storage groove. Then the spare dehydration adsorption plate pushes the dehydration adsorption plate, so that the dehydration adsorption plate enters the placement box and falls on the bottom plate, thereby providing a function of automatically replacing the dehydration adsorption plate in an efficient dehydration working environment.
