Determination of Hydrocarbon Dew Point Using a Gas Chromatograph Determining Hydrocarbon Dew Point per gas chromatographic analysis and Equations of State.

摘要

The determination of the Hydrocarbon Dew Point (HCDP) for Natural Gas has recently become a critical issue for the Natural Gas industry due to the rapid expansion of interconnecting pipelines and the rise of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an international source of Natural Gas.Where previously the Natural Gas in a pipeline would come from a small number of known producers,the Natural Gas flowing through the pipeline today could have come from many varied sources including traditional Gas Plant producers (De-hydration,CO2 and/or N2 control and removal of Condensates),Coal Bed Methane producers (98% Methane),low cost producers (De- Hydration only) or global exporters of LNG.
