Abstract
In this work the modified perturbed hard sphere chain equation of state (PHSC), coupled with Van der waals Platteuw model, has been used for prediction of gas hydrate formation (dissociation) conditions. The PHSC EOS has been modified using association and electrostatic contributions. In order to evaluate the capability of the PHSC EOS, the hydrate formation conditions of various pure as well as mixed gases in the presence and absence of the thermodynamic inhibitors such as methanol, ethanol, mono ethylene glycol(MEG), NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 have been studied. In the absence of inhibitors, the pure gas hydrate formation conditions have been predicted within 3.4% absolute average relative deviation. The hydrate formation condition of gas mixtures have been predicted within AARD 4.6%. In the presence of organic inhibitors and single electrolyte 6.1% and 5.8% AARD has been observed respectively. A total of 102 systems have been studied; our results showed that the PHSC EOS is capable of prediction of hydrate formation condition with reasonable absolute average relative deviation (AARD) from experimental data.
