A honeycomb adsorption plate 14 is inserted into each of the plurality of installation through-holes 11. Among them, by setting the partition plate 12, the natural gas can be blocked so that the natural gas flows along a specified route. By setting the guide through-hole 13, the natural gas can be guided. By setting the honeycomb adsorption plate 14, the moisture in the natural gas can be adsorbed.

[0022] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a shunt pipe 3 is arranged inside the primary dehydration chamber 1 and near the top position. A plurality of spray heads 4 are fixedly communicated with the outer surface of the shunt pipe 3. A storage tank 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the primary dehydration chamber 1. A liquid extraction pump 16 is fixedly communicated with the outer surface of the storage tank 15. The output end of the liquid extraction pump 16 is fixedly communicated with the outer surface of the shunt pipe 3. By setting the spray head 4, the amine solution can be sprayed into the primary dehydration chamber 1 in the form of water droplets, so that the natural gas can fully contact with the amine solution.

[0023] As Figure 4 shown, support plates 5 are fixedly connected to both inner side walls of the primary dehydration chamber 1. The tops of the two support plates 5 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the shunt pipe 3. By setting the support plates 5, the shunt pipe 3 can be supported to improve stability.

[0024] As Figure 4 shown, a collection hopper 6 is fixedly communicated with the inner bottom surface of the primary dehydration chamber 1. The bottom end of the primary dehydration chamber 1 is fixedly communicated with a collection chamber 7. By setting the collection hopper 6, the amine solution can be quickly collected to prevent it from remaining in the primary dehydration chamber 1.

[0025] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a communication chamber 8 is fixedly connected to the top ends of both the primary dehydration chamber 1 and the secondary dehydration chamber 2. A communication pipe 9 is fixedly connected between the two communication chambers 8. A heating pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the communication pipe 9.

The amine solution is sprayed into the primary dehydration chamber 1 in the form of water droplets under the action of the spray heads 4, so that the natural gas fully contacts with the amine solution, and the water in the natural gas is separated out. Then the natural gas enters the communication pipe 9 through the communication chamber 8 and enters the secondary dehydration chamber 2 after being heated by the heating pipe 10. The partition plate 12 isolates the flowing natural gas, so that the natural gas flows in the plurality of partition plates 12 under the action of the guiding through holes 13, so that the natural gas sequentially passes through the plurality of honeycomb adsorption plates 14, increasing the residence time of the natural gas in the honeycomb adsorption plates 14, and performing secondary dehydration on the natural gas.
