Hydrate formation, inhibition with Methanol

[stawad]

the example provided with Prode Properties shows how to evaluate the effect of different rates of inhibitors such as methanol on hydrate formation conditions, but is the same procedure applicable to brine solutions or less common fluids ?
Since Prode adopts a multiphase solver one should be able to use any fluid in the library, is it true ?

[abarre]

yes, the multiphase solver in Prode Properties allows to include any chemical in library,
basically you calculate hydrate depression point solving multiphase equilibria,
if no SLE BIPs are available (the free edition includes only a few SLE BIPs) you may follow the example provided for methanol-water to regress SLE data points, see chapter Regress VLE-LLE-SLE data in
"http://www.prode.com/docs/pppman.pdf"
with that operation you may get accurate estimates for almost any chemical (providing you have some experimental data, if not look in DDB or similar databases)
