Zusammenfassung:FLUID DRYING PROCESS USING ZEOLITES HAVING LARGE CRYSTALS (D#77,426-1-F) A method of drying a fluid, such as natural gas, which includes the steps of contacting the fluid with a zeolite having crystals of an average size larger than about 2000 angstroms, the fluid including a hydrocarbon, water, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide, separating the dried fluid from the hydrated zeolite crystals and regenerating the hydrated zeolite crystals. Preferred zeolite crystals include those of the 3A, 4A, and 5A type.
