Water content of natural gas systems in equilibrium with an aqueous or a hydrate phase - Experimental measurements and molecular modeling

Abstract

This presentation provides a SAFT-based water model to predict water content of natural gas in equilibrium with an aqueous or a hydrate phase. Experimental data for water content on heavy n-alkanes is scattered. Vapor liquid equilibrium to liquid-liquid equilibrium for HC and acid gases was observed at sub-critical conditions. Results reveal that water content in vapor HC was higher than in the liquid HC, and water content in liquid acid gases was higher than in vapor acid gases. Water content of supercritical natural gas was strongly dependent on CO2 composition. The SAFT-model was extended to the hydrate region and validated using available laboratory experimental data.
