← ScienceWhich consequence results when the water saturation point within a distillation tower is exceeded?
A)Increased condenser duty requirement
B)Glycol dehydration catalyst poisoning
C)Formation of hydrate plugs✓
D)Elevated reboiler energy consumption
💡 Explanation
Hydrate plugs form because exceeding saturation forces water out of solution, and the water molecules then form crystalline structures with hydrocarbons, or hydrate formation. This lowers permeability therefore blocks flow creating plugs, rather than condenser or reboiler malfunctions.
