Hi-
For years I have always known that Methyl Alcohol is used as a method of removing water from natural gas piping. For example - a pressurized natural gas pipe has a small amount of water trapped in it. The water, under certain flow, and temperature conditions will vaporize and cause problems at meters, regulators, burner tips etc. In some cases, Methyl Alcohol or Methyenol (please forgive the spelling on that) is injected (in liquid form) to help remove the water. Occasionally Isopropyl is used too. Does anyone know the explanation to as why this helps remove the water?
Thanks
