Notes on thermodynamic process simulation from Steven Barrow, P.E.
Acid gas injection plants may qualify for §45Q carbon capture tax credits if they meet the geological storage and measurement requirements. Here is what the 2026 framework looks like.
GERG-2008 dominates wide-composition natural gas mixtures; Peng-Robinson stays competitive for hydrocarbon-rich, lighter applications. Here's how to choose.
HYSYS dominates gas processing simulation, but it is expensive, desktop-bound, and difficult to automate. Here is an honest look at the real alternatives as of 2026.
A KMZ file holds pipeline geometry. Converting it to a thermodynamic flowsheet requires extracting the route, segmenting by elevation and diameter changes, and assigning hydraulic and thermal properties to each pipe segment.
Converting an ASTM D86 distillation curve to vapor pressure requires pseudocomponent characterization and a suitable correlation. Here is the workflow engineers actually use.
