New method yields MEG injection rate

09/01/2008
This article reports on development of a shortcut method that minimizes the calculation steps for obtaining the inhibitor concentration and injection rate required to depress hydrate formation to a desired temperature.Several thermodynamics models are also available that yield inhibitor concentration and injection rate, but their calculations may require rigorous computer solutions.This article presents four diagrams to predict the required weight percent of monoethylene glycol (MEG) in the rich solution and the flow rate for the desired depression of the hydrate formation temperature (HFT) for natural gas streams. These diagrams are generated for a natural gas with relative density of 0....
