An Analysis of Hydrate Conditions and Property Predictions in Acid Gas Injection Systems
This paper will focus on the hydrate formation conditions for acid gas mixtures commonly found in acid gas injection systems. Many studies have analyzed the hydrate and solid formation temperatures of CO2 systems. However, very little is known about hydrate conditions in varying acid gas mixtures as experienced in many injection systems. Herein, the available published data will be presented and compared with predictions from the process simulation software, ProMax ®. In particular, the hydrate conditions for both saturated and under-saturated systems will be explored for comparison on these injection systems.
