Simple Method for Predicting Gas-Hydrate-Forming Conditions in Aqueous Mixed-Electrolyte Solutions

Abstract

A simple thermodynamic model is proposed for predicting hydrate-forming conditions for natural-gas components in the presence of single-component or mixed-electrolyte solutions. The parameters required for use of the model are developed and presented. The model is quite accurate with average deviations between calculated and experimental values of less than 0.5 °C for systems not included in the model-parameter determination.
