High pressure vapor-liquid equilibrium measurements of methane and water mixtures using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Abstract
Gas composition, which can vary from location to location in natural gas pipelines, constrains the allowable operating conditions and compressor package design. Compressor systems are designed such that they provide the optimal balance between efficiency and gas throughput with safety margins to maintain component lifetime. The presence of liquid in the compressor can lead to excessive wear of intake and discharge valves and impact performance. To prevent ingestion of liquid slugs, operating conditions and separation equipment must be selected appropriately using mixture dew point calculations ...
