Simulación numérica del crecimiento de gota de hidrocarburos condensados en el gas natural
Dentro de la red de distribución y producción de gas natural es importante el cumplimiento de parámetros de calidad de gas normativos de la industria Colombiana. Uno de los más importantes es el punto de rocío de hidrocarburos, controlado principalmente mediante la separación de los hidrocarburos pe...

Within distribution and production grid of natural gas
is important the fulfillment of certain Colombian industry regulatory requirements of the corresponding to the gas quality parameters. One of the most important requirement is the hydrocarbons dew point
which is mainly regulated through the separation systems of heavy hydrocarbons presents in natural gas. To improve the efficiency and the process operating cost
was proposed the gas/liquid high pressure separators use. In the last decade has been developed different gas/liquid separation technologies operating at high pressure with the purpose of decrease the cost of the compression required in the conventional process (gas expansion with Joule-Thomson valves)
as well as improve the efficiency in this process. However to generate a correct use of the technologies is necessary an extensive knowledge of hydrocarbons condensation phenomena
and tools that allow their prediction to enhance this process. The droplet diameter is one of the key dates in the high-pressure separation models
so for predict this parameter is necessary a droplet growth model study on the separator’s inlet flow
to improve the process efficiency. Therefore in the project a numerical simulation to obtain this parameter from theoretical models of growth drop from phenomenological assumptions was performed. In the droplet growth rate simulation from a natural gas produced in Colombia
was observed that the model proposed represented successfully the condensate droplet growth diameter. Also was determinate that the system pressure is the parameter that has a major influence in the calculation of maximum droplet diameter obtained in the growth rate. Finally created a knowledge path
interpretation and investigation about these phenomena
less studied in Colombia.
