Abstract
A gas containing methane and water is treated in order to remove water therefrom. The process comprises a step of contacting the gas with a liquid phase formed of water and solvent, whereby water free of solvent can be removed, and a subsequent step of cooling the resultant gas. The process is applicable to natural gas and to refinery gas.
