A Set of Equations for computing Gas Processors Suppliers Association 5000 PSIA Convergence Pressure Equilibrium Ratios for Pressures to 1200 PSIA
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Equilibrium ratios of light hydrocarbons have varied applications in oil and gas producing and oil refining operations. The Gas Processors and Suppliers Association (G.P.S.A.) ratios are widely used, and are available in the forms of charts and a large computer deck. The purpose of this study was to develop a set of equations, simple enough to be handled by a programmable hand calculator, that will generate G.P.S.A. K values within specified ranges of temperature and pressure. The advantages of this method of determining K values over methods previously used are that it is fast, inexpensive, portable, and accurate. Equations for calculating K ratios as functions of temperature and pressure are given, as well as the methods used to develop them. Calculated values are compared with those from the G.P.S.A. computer program.
