Abstract
The three- and four-phase hydrate equilibria of the ternary system of CO2 + tetrahydrofuran (THF) + water were measured by using a Cailletet equipment. Measurements showed that THF addition caused the hydrate equilibrium pressure to be drastically lowered by 60-80% at a specified temperature and equivalently the hydrate equilibrium temperature to be raised with about 6-8 K at a specified pressure depending on the concentration of THF in water. Depending on the overall composition of the systems, a liquid-liquid phase split was observed creating a four-phase equilibrium in the system and it was bounded by the bubble and dew points lines of the ternary system. At higher overall concentration of CO2, experimental measurements showed that a pseudo-retrograde phenomenon exists at 2.5-5 MPa and 291 K. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE National Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
