Project Announcement: Vapour Liquid Equilibrium Measurements & Solid Formation Tests in Industrial Mix
High boiling-point components in mixed refrigerants can improve the performance of cryogenic liquefaction facilities used for LNG production. However, vapour liquid equilibrium (VLE) and solid formation predictions provided by different thermodynamic models can have significant variations at low-temperature conditions, increasing the margins required when sizing process equipment. This proposal will use specialised experimental techniques to…
