Abstract

To achieve a reliable method to calculate the hydrocarbon dew point for natural gases in transmission, samples of natural gas were taken at the inlet of the Magreb-Europe pipeline in Spain. The composition up to the C12 fraction of each natural gas sample was determined by gas chromatography, and the dew-point curve was measured using a chilled mirror dew-point analyzer. In this work, we present the experimental measurements of dew points for six samples of natural gas between 1.1 × 105 Pa and 78.4 × 105 Pa in the temperature range from 235.2 to 277.9 K. The experimental results obtained were analyzed in terms of a predictive excess function−equation of state (EF-EOS) method based on the zeroth-approximation of Guggenheim's reticular model. Because the EF-EOS model uses a group contribution model, the availability of every binary experimental data corresponding to every binary interaction in the mixture is not necessary. Considering this and the good results obtained in previous studies, we concluded that...
