Abstract

See full text

A method for precisely predicting phase equilibrium from existing phase equilibrium data on the basis of a wide range of phase equilibrium data including binary vapor-liquid equilibrium data; a method or apparatus for designing or controlling a component separator or a refiner using the prediction method; and a program for designing this design or control apparatus. Binary phase equilibrium measurement data is used to calculate an index of proximity ratio to critical points and infinite dilution pressure gradients. The obtained index is correlated with the infinite dilution pressure gradients to newly calculate infinite dilution activity coefficients from the respective index to infinite dilution pressure gradients correlations. The obtained infinite dilution activity coefficients values are used to predict phase equilibrium. Thus, the obtained values are used to design or control a component separator or a refiner, such as a distillation column.
