Measurement and Modeling Water Content of Sweet Natural Gas with Low Methane Composition
Contribution to knowledge:
The study developed a novel correlation with % Average Absolute Deviation (AAD) of less than 7% and better than existing correlations for water content prediction at low to moderate pressures. Very scarce experimental data required for the optimization of natural gas systems with C 70%. This study proved that the Mcketta and Wehe, Campbell and Gordon's charts can accurately predict water content of gas mixtures with C < 70% with % 1 AAD of less than 10%.
