  • 1.  Estimate Methanol Partitioning into Water

    Posted 04-22-2016 10:21 AM

    Hi,

    Is there a Rule of Thumb on estimating methanol partitioning between the oil and water in the Topsides Separators?

    Thanks for your help.

    Alex,

    Check GPSA charts FIG. 20-51: Ratio of Methanol Vapor Composition to Methanol Liquid Composition.
