CO2-CH4 mixtures phase equilibrium analysis

Carbon dioxide removal is crucial step during natural gas processing, as CO2 is highly corrosive in presence of water. There are natural gas sources around the world with very high carbon dioxide content that cannot be developed. In order to design the effective CO2 removal process, properties of methane-carbon dioxide mixtures has to be determined. Authors have investigated thermodynamic properties of CH4-CO2 mixtures. Extended Peng-Robinson equations were used to determine the phase equilibrium of CH4-CO2 systems of different compositions.
