Abstract
AbstractA molecular‐thermodynamic correlation has been developed for calculating the inhibition effect of methanol on the formation of hydrates in moist gas mixtures. Six phases are potentially present in these mixtures: gas, aqueous liquid, hydrocarbon liquid, ice, and hydrate structures I and II. For a given temperature and system composition, the molecular‐thermodynamic method described here allows computation of the hydrate‐point pressure as well as relative amounts and compositions of all coexisting phases. Good agreement is obtained when calculated results are compared with diverse experimental data reported in the literature. The correlation given here may be useful for computeraided design for gas processing and transportation.
