Abstract
A new true boiling point distillation apparatus was designed, fabricated, and tested as part of a larger research effort on characterization studies of condensate fluids. Mixtures from heptanes, C6, to dodecanes, C12, were separated under atmospheric conditions and from tridecanes, C13, to nonadecanes, C19, under vacuum conditions. Benchmarking of the results from true boiling point analyses was performed by high-precision gas chromatography. Such data are not only scarce but those available indicate differences ranging from 20 to 30% mainly due to carryover of volumes outside the boiling range. This work has shown a difference of less than 10%, which indicates that this new true boiling point equipment is capable of producing results suitable for conducting reservoir fluids characterization studies.
