Hydrocarbons
Studies have determined that exposure to hydrocarbons can lead to liver and kidney damage as well as gastrointestinal problems, and nervous system damage. Additionally, prolonged exposure can result not only in hematological problems, but a variety of cancers as well. As with any medical condition, treatment after the fact is always more difficult and costly than prevention.

Make no mistake about it the last thing you need in your drinking water is hydrocarbons. You should also be
aware that no one is going to tell you when there are traces of these deadly substances in your drinking water.
They are normally discovered when people start falling ill. Obviously, you need to find some sort of protection
that will eliminate these hazardous compounds from your drinking water.

There are many states in which the drinking water has become so contaminated due to this fracking process that drinking water is shipped in by lorry. The closer you live to any drilling that uses this process obviously you have a higher risk of finding hydrocarbons in drinking water. However, even if you live some distance away you should not be complacent, because of this ability to travel underground.

Generally, more hygroscopic desiccants have higher dilution rates. Gas exiting the vessel top has been dried to a point consistent with the equilibrium point of each desiccant. Selection of the correct grade is based on the inlet gas conditions and the required outlet moisture content. If higher grades (more hygroscopic) are needed, it is normally more economic to use several grades in series, flowing from lowest grade to highest in separate vessels, rather than simply using a high-grade desiccant in one vessel. An exception is for very low flow rates such as instrument gas where operating cost savings per thousand cubic feet (mcf) may not offset additional equipment costs incurred by using multiple vessels.
