4 4 PREDICTION OF CONDITIONS FOR HYDRATE FORMATION IN NATURAL GASES Compositions of typical natural gases were selected to cover the gravity range from 0.6 to 1.0. The pressures at which hydrate would form at 40, so0, 60, and straight-line section at the high pressure. The curves were terminated at 40m lb. per sq. in., since the nature of the curves at higher pressures is not known. 70 F. were computed, using vapor-solid equilibrium constants.' The results of these calculations, along with the experimental data,%aa were plotted on Fig. I, using gas gravity to represent From the smooth curves on Fig. I, the curves of Fig. 2 were drawn, using the experimental curves2 as a guide for the As there was considerable variation bctween the points and the curves drawn on Fig. I, the compositions of some natural gases represented by the hydrate curves on Fig. 2 for a given gravity are tabulated in Table I. Only natural gases having compositions similar to these arc represented by the curves of Fig. 2.

Errors in constructing the charts were located by cross-plotting the final pressures to which the gases could be expanded as a function of gas gravity for a series of initial pressures.

This pressure at which gases decrease in temperature depends upon the compressibility-factor curves. Where the rate of change of the compressibility negative, the gas increases in temperature upon free expansion. The slight curvature of the initial temperature curves at low final pressures is due to the exit of the free expansion CUNe from the hydrate-formation region as illustrated by curve B of Fig. 3. When two alternative final pressures are given for an initial pressure and temperature, the

Fig. 4 through 9 may be used to solve two types of problems, with examples as follows: 1. How far may a '0.6 gravity gas at zoo0 lb. pressure and loo F. be expanded without danger of hydrate formation? The 2. How far may a 0.6 gravity gas at zoo0 lb. and 140 F. be expanded without hydrate formation? The answer, from Fig. 5, is that hydrates will not form upon expansion to atmospheric pressure. 3. A 0.6 gravity gas is to be expanded from'15oo Ib. to 500 lb. What is the minimum initial temperature that will permit the expansion without danger of hydrates? The answer, from Fig. 5, is an initial temperature of 99 F. or above.

At what pressure would hydrates be likely to appear if sufficient water is present? The answer, from Fig. 5, is (a) 4300 Ib. and (b) I 150 pounds. Similar problems may be solved for gases of other gravities with interpolation between charts when necessary. pansions described are always free and adiabatic. Hydrates will form only when sufficient (usually liquid) water is present, and the charts do not apply to anhydrous natural gases.
