Abstract
A new numerical model, which covers the full range of dehydration-plant operating conditions and wide range of experimental data results, estimates the amount of CH4, C2H6 and C3H8 absorbed per volume of triethylene glycol (TEG) circulated vs. the partial pressure of light alkanes and the absorber temperature. This article shows that the proposed numerical approach is more accurate than routine equation of states in predicting the solubility of light hydrocarbons in TEG. This article also provides comparisons between the results of the proposed model with experimental data and an equation of state results.
