THERMODYNAMICS AND TRANSPORT PROPER- TIES ANALYSIS OF NATURAL GAS FROM SONGOSONGO IN KILWA- TANZANIA
Abstract
Analysis ofthermodynamics and transport properties was carried outfor six natu- ral gas samples from Songosongofield in Kilwa - Tanzania using PRO/II simula- for. Properties of most interest in gas processing (due to their influence on the sales value) such as density, specific gravity, critical parameters, bubble point and dew point, enthalpy, latent heat of vaporisation, molecular weight, boiling point and phase were investigated. In addition composition of the gas was com- pared with that from elsewhere. The gas was assumed to be at a temperature of 30C and a pressme of 150 bar before pressure let down station. Results indicated that Songosongo natural gas properties compare very closely with those of natu- ral gas from other parts of the world. Cricondenbar values ranged from 86.4 bar to 90.7 bar while cricondentherm values ranged from 1.150C to 5.560C. Maxi- mum pressure and temperature ranged the same region as cricondenbar and cricondentherm values. These values suggest reasonable flexibility in operating pipeline and other associated process units.
