| Popis: |
In cryogenic gas processing, one of the process constraints can be the precipitation of solid carbon dioxide in the processing streams. The collection of solid carbon dioxide at strategic points in the process can significantly disrupt or completely destroy the effective operation of a process plant by changing its hydraulic characteristics. Theoretically, for any temperature below the triple point of carbon dioxide (−56.6°C) there exists the possibility of freezing. The freezing point is a strong function of the mixture composition and temperature. Obviously, the prediction of carbon dioxide solubility in light hydrocarbon mixtures can strongly affect the process scheme, particularly when the gas treating facility represents a significant portion of the project cost. |
