TEG contamination of MEG circuit

Has anyone any experience of sending gas previously dehydrated in a TEG contactor through a dew-pointing plant which has MEG hydrate protection?

We are worried about the potential for stripping TEG vapour from the gas in the LTS and its accumulation in the MEG circuit. The effects that such contamination might have on spray distribution, reboiler performance and 'Lean' glycol water load are our main concerns.

If the consequence of such contamination is serious then what would be the best way to remove the TEG from the gas stream? Carbon Filter? Chilled condensate wash?
