Introduction
This Technical Publication, TP-22, serves to archive the GPSA Convergence Pressure Vapor Liquid1 Equilibrium Ratios (K-data) along with other K-data charts. The convergence pressure approach to handling1 composition dependency of K-values was omitted when the eleventh edition of the GPSA Engineering Data, Book was published in 1998. The Editorial Review Board explained this change in the data book with the^ following statement: Previous editions of this data book presented extensive sets of K-data based on the GPSA Convergence Pressure Pk method. A component's K-data is a strong function of temperature and pressure and a weaker function of composition. The convergence pressure method recognized composition effects in predicting Kdata. The convergence pressure technique can be used in hand-calculations, and it is still available as computer correlations for K-data prediction. There is now general availability of computers. This availability coupled with the more refined K-value1 correlations in modern process simulators, has rendered the previous GPA convergence pressure charts outdated. The convergence pressure method is presented in dual metric (SI) and English (FPS)units. This TP contains the full explanatory text on convergence pressure from section 25 of the tenth Edition of the GPSA Engineering Data Book (the blue books) supplemented with the SI information from the corresponding material from section 18 in the 1980 SI Engineering Data Book (the green book). All of the standard charts are from the 1980 SI Engineering Data Book (the green book). In addition, other charts from the 1957 edition relating to acid gas components in ethane and propane have been included. For quick trouble-shooting and evaluation work a set of K-charts can be very helpful. They present an illustration of the effect of temperature and pressure on K-values for light hydrocarbons. A composite set has been retained in the eleventh edition of the data book for both the SI and FPS units. The charts represent decades of careful comprehensive research directed by GPA and GPSA. Accordingly, the Associations decided that they are to be retained as a resource available to the industry and academia. Also included in this TP are K-data for High-Boiling Hydrocarbons (Poettman charts), some hydrogen sulfide binanes and hydrogen binaries, The Equilibrium or K-value curves were first published in chart form by the NGAA and NGSMA (predecessors to the present day GPA and GPSA) in the early 1950's. Much of the basic data was compiled in tabular form under the direction of Dr. G. G. Brown, Dean of Engineering,University of Michigan. The data were taken from numerous published articles and unpublished experimental data. From these tabular data the first charts to be used by the industry were prepared by the Fluor Corporation Engineering Department under the guidance of Blaine Kuist, C. W. Leggett and C.K. Walker. Most of the painstaking draftsmanship was done by Orville McAdams, also of Fluor. Stuart Hadden developed the concept of convergence pressure, thereby making the charts useful for predicting K-values in a mixture containing any number of components. The charts were first published by the NGAA in 1955.

In anticipation of needing additional information to expand the data and improve the accuracy. NGAA appointed the first Equilibrium Committee chaired by Elliott Organik, United Gas Corporation. Members of the committee were C. L. DePreister, California Research Corporation; Karl Hackmuth, Phillips Petroleum Company; James Kilmer, Stanolind Oil and Gas Company; H. H. Rackford, Humble Oil and Refining Company; Bryon Woertz, The Pure Oil Company; and Charles Webber, Sun Oil Company.
In 1957 the charts were completely redrawn to provide data at lower temperatures and to increase the internai consistency of the K-values. Karl Hackmuth guided the chart revision. By then Byron Woertz had assumed chairmanship of the Equilibrium Committee. E.A. Gromatzky, The Texas Company; R. H. Jacoby, Pan American Petroleum Company; Herbert L. Stone, Humble Oil and Refining Company; and C. J. Walters. California Research Corporation had become members of the committee.
This committee continued to act as a clearing house for new equilibria data and correlation methods. In 1958 these charts were published as Tables of Coefficients for use with early computers. Robert Norman and Brymier Williams presented a paper at the 57th Annual NGAA convention in Dallas April, 1958 that was the basis for the initial work that developed these machine computations.
A set of equations was developed to represent each page in the Data Book. The NGAA prepared a reproduction of the data from these charts in two forms - point cards and coefficient cards. The point cards were IBM cards containing approximately 70,000 data points (pressure, temperature, composition and convergence pressure) punches on 17,000 cards. The coefficient cards were IBM cards that contained the coefficients for the equations used to empirically correlate the point data. This required only 432 cards because each card contained seven coefficients. This drastically reduced the number of cards which in turn reduced the computer storage space required.
Through the years the convergence curves have been modified and improved. They are still published in the GPSA Engineering Data Book and represent decades of careful and comprehensive research directed by GPA and GPSA.

EQUILIBRIUM RATIO (K) DATA
The equilibrium ratio (Ki) of a component i in a multicomponent mixture of liquid and vapor phases is defined as the ratio of the mole fraction of that component in the vapor phase to that in the liquid phase. Note that the critical data from these binary mixtures were NOT used to adjust the critical loci of Figure 5 . Such an adjustment would necessitate complete cross-plotting and redetermination of all of the convergence pressure charts.

[-73T], light hydrocarbon system is most easily approximated a as a pseudobinary. Determine the average molecular weight on
a methane-free basis; then interpolate the K-values between the two binaries whose heavy component lies on either side of this pseudocomponent. This calculation becomes poor for systems with N2 content greater than 3 to 5 mole percent. The ternary methane-ethane-propane system is well defined.5 At temperatures below -75F [-60C], (except for the highest pressures 700-800 psia [4800-5500 kPa(abs)] at -75F [-60"Cl and -100F [-73"C]. if f=XE(Mp) /xECMi ratio of = ethane mole fraction in the liquid phase of the ternary system to the ethane mole fraction in the liquid phase of the methaneethane system, then the ternary K-values can be calculated from:
log KM = log KM(P)
For an ideal system (ideal gas and ideal solution), this equilibrium ratio is reduced to the ratio of the vapor pressure of component i to the total pressure of the system. pi* Ki = P This TP presents an outline procedure to calculate the liquid and vapor compositions of a two-phase mixture in equilibrium using the concept of a pseudobinary system and the convergence pressure equilibrium charts. Discussion of CO;! separation. alternate methods to obtain K values, and equations of state follow. Finally, three sets of equilibrium rat:, charts are presented: K-values for specific binary systems K-values of various components based on different convergence pressures of hydrocarbon systems K-values of pseudocomponents based on normal boiling point and characterization factor

These generalizations can be made about the ternary Kvalues: Addition of propane increases the methane K-value and decreases the ethane K-value. Addition of ethane decreases the methane K-value and increases the propane K-value. The propane K-value is highest when at infinite dilution in the ternary (.e., a methane-ethane binary). The ethane K-value is highest when no propane is present (.e., a methane-ethane binary). These generalizations can be extended to other ternary (or

higher) systems: the heaviest component (propane in this case) is analogous to a "lean oil" in an absorber system. The methaneethane is acting in this case as a "natural gas" with the heaviest component (ethane) being preferentially absorbed into the "lean oil" (propane), with the resulting effects on the K-values. The liquid mole fraction of the middle (volatility) component is a useful parameter. The user should be aware that the composition effect on K-values is very pronounced in the regions covered by the binary and ternary data systems. Accurate values can be obtained only by cross-plots of K-value versus composition. Limiting conditions should be considered in the analysis and use of K-data. For example, the limits on a binary system are defined by the vapor pressure of the pure components, as shown of by the Locus K G and Locus KS page 102. The limits of a ternary system are the binary systems. The GPA/GPSA sponsors investigations iL systems of interest to gas processors. Detailed results are given in the annual proceedings and in various research reports and technical publications, which are listed in Section 1 of the Engineering Data Book.

Method of Calculating Convergence Pressure The vapor-liquid equilibrium K-value of each component in a system is a function of the system temperature, system pressure, and the composition of the vapor and liquid phase. For natural gas processes, the convergence pressure can usually be used as the parameter that represents the compasiton of the vapor and liquid phase in equilibrium. The c.onvergence pressure is, in general, the critical pressure of a system at a given temperature. At a given temperature, as the system pressure increases, the K-values of ail components of the system converge to unity when the system pressure reaches the convergence pressure. In other words, it is the pressure for a system at a given temperature when vapor-liquid separation is no longer possible. Naturally, it is equally impossible to have a vapor-liquid separation at a given temperture i n which the system pressure is greater than the convergence pressure. Although the convergence pressure charts include values for methane, ...n-butane ai - 120F [-84"C] and lower, the use of the

The convergence pressure of systems as encountered generally in natural gas processes is a function of the temperature and the composition of the liquid phase. This presumes that the liquid composition is known from a flash calculation using a first approximate guess for convergence pressure. Therefore, the method of calculating convergence pressure is an iterative procedure. This calculation procedure is suggested. Step 1: Assume the liquid phase composition or make an approximation. (If there is no guide, use the total feed composi ton.) Step 2: Identify the lightest hydrocarbon component which is present at least 0.1 mole 480 in the liquid phase. Step 3: Calculate the weight average critical temperature and critical pressure for the remaining heavier components to form a pseudobinary system. (A shortcut approach good for most hydrocaron systems is to calculate the weight average T, only.)

Step 4: Trace the critical locus of the binary consisting of the light component and pseudoheavy component. When the averaged pseudoheavy component is between two real hydrocarbons. an interpolation of the two critical loci must be made. Step 5: Read the convergence pressure (ordinate) at the temperature (abscissa) corresponding to that of the desired flash conditions, from Figure 5. Step 6: Using the convergence pressure determined at Step 5 , together with the system temperature and systrm pressure, obtain K-values for the components from the appropriate convergence-pressure K-charts. Step 7: Make a flash calculation with the feed composition and the K-values from Step 6, as shown in Figure 3.
When the convergence pressure so determined is beweein the values for which charts are provided, interpolation between charts may be necessary depending on how close the operating pressure is to the convergence pressure.
If K-values do not change rapidly with P, ( P p > P ) then the set of charts nearest to the calculated PI; m a y he used. Otherwise, a cross-plot of K values versus P,. all at constant temperature and pressure, must be constructed for interpolation.
Step 8: Repeat Steps 2 through 7 until the assumed and calculated convergence pressures check within an acceptable tolerance, or until the two successive calculations give the same light and pseudoheavy components check within an acceptable tolerance.

Aromaticity Corrections - These K-chrirrs for which Pk = 800, 1000, and 2000 were based entirely on binary parafin hydrocarbon systems, while those for P, = 4000 and 10.000 were derived from early data on mixtures containing some naphthenes (cycloparaffins) and aromatics. It is believed that small amounts of cyclic components added to mixtures of paraffins do not seriously affect the K-values obtained from these charts. However, as the concentration of cyclics increases the K-values are affected in a manner that is not fully accounted for by the convergence pressure variable.

The GPA has sponsored research to study these effects in absorber systems, and the experimental results of this work are published.' In general. the data show that the presence of aromatics in paraffin mixtures serves to increase the K-values of the paraffins.
A situation of reproducible sieady state condition> in ;1 piecc of equipment does not necessarily imply that c l a s s i ~ i ~ l thermodynamic equilibrium exists. If the steady composition differs from that for equilibrium, the reason can be the result of time-limited mass transfer and diffusion rates. This wming is made because i t is not at all unusual for flow rates through equipment to be so high that equilibrium is not attained or even closely approached. In such cases. equilihrium flash calculations as described here fail to predict conditions in the system accurately, and the K-values are suspected for this failure-when in fact they are not at fault.

These are often helpful for preliminary calculations where the phase condition of a system at a given pressure and temperature is in doubt. If CK, Ni and LNi/K, are both greater than I .O, the system is in the two phase region. If XK,Ni is less than 1.O, the system is all liquid. I f If ZKi Ni is less than 1 .O, the system is ail vapor.

This error will be too large for many applications. To check the convergence pressure assumption. the components heavier than methane in the liquid are converted to a weight fraction basis as shown in columns 10 and 11 using the molecular weights in column 9. Using this composition (column 1 1 ) of the pseudoheavy component, calculate the weight average critical temperature and pressure using the Tci and PCi in columns 12 and 13; the results are shown at the bottom of those columns. By referring to Figure 5 , the calculated T c of 354F is seen to fall between n-butane and n-pentane, and the calculated P c falls in line with the other paraffin hydrocarbons.

48.2 PIk= -(300) + 1700 = 1881 psia 79.7 This confirms the assumed Pk = 2000 closely enough for this illustration. The more closely the operating pressure approaches the convergence pressure the more accurately the calculated Pk must check the assumed Pk because in this region, the K-values are most sensitive to the Pk value used. Example 2-SI- A typical high pressure separator gas is used for feed to a natural gas liquefaction plant, and a preliminary step in the process involves cooling to -30C at 4000 kPa (abs) to knock out heavier hydrocarbons prior to cooling to lower temperatures where these components would freeze out as solids. Estimate the convergence pressure Pk. Solution Steps - The feed gas composition. shown in Figure 3 SI, column I , is similar to that used in the enthalpy and entropy problems in Section 24 of the Engineering Data Book. Pk is first estimated to be 2000 psia (1 3800 kPa) and K's are read off as in column 2. Then the flash equation 8 is solved for three estimated values of L as shown in columns 3, 4 and 5 . By plotting estimated L versus calculated L xi, the correct value of L where C xi = 1.00 is L = 0.030, whose solution is shown in columns 6 and 7. The gas composition is then calculated using yi = Kixi as in column 8. This "correct" value is used for purposes of illustration. It is not a completely converged solution. for xi = 1.0089 and yi = 0.99972, columns 7 and 8 of Figure 3-SI. This error will b too large for many applications.

This confirms the assumed Pk = 2000 closely enough for this illustration. The more closely the operating pressure approaches convergence pressure the more accurately the calculated Pk must check the assumed Pk because in this region, the K-values are most sensitive to the Pk value used. Example 3-FPS- Dew Point Calculation
As gas stream at 100F and 800 psia is being cooled in a heat exchanger. Find the temperature at which the gas starts i o condense.
Solution Steps - The approach to find the dew point of the gas stream is similar to the last example. Assume a convergence pressure of 1000 psia. The equation for dew point condition (CNi/Ki=l.O) is solved for two estimated dew point temperatures as shown in Figure 4-FPS. By interpolation. the temperature at which LNi/Ki = 1.0 is estimated at -44F. To check the convergence pressure, assume the corresponding saturated liquid consists largely of the heaviest componet, propane. This agrees with the fact that the First condensed liquid droplet from any gas stream is the heaviest component in that stream. From Figure 5 , the convergence pressure at -44F for the pseudoheavy component, propane, is 1240 psia. This is close to the assumed convergence pressure of 1O00 psia.

A gas stream at 40C and 5500 kPa (abs) is being cooled in a heat exchanger. Find the temperature at which the gas starts to condense.
Solution Steps -The approach to find the dew point of the gas stream is similar to the previous example. The equation for dew point condition (ZNi/Ki = 1.0) is solved for two estimated dew point temperatures as shown in Figure 4-SI. By interpolation, the temperature at which cNi/Ki = i .O is estimated at -4 1.4"C.

Note that the heaviest component is quite important in dew point calculations, since it essentially determines the convergence pressure. For more complex mixtures, the characterization of the heavy fraction as a pseudocomponent such as hexane or octane will have a significant effect on dew point calculations.
Carbon Dioxide Early conflicting data on CO, systems was used to prepare convergence pressure (Pi, = 4000)charts for the 1966 Edition.
Later, experience showed that at low concentrations of CO2, the rule of thumb
could be used with a plus or minus 10% accuracy. Developments in the use of CO2 for reservoir drive have led to extensive investigations in CO, processing. See the more recent GPA research reports (listed in Section 1 of the Engineering Data Book) and the Proceedings of GPA conventions.

has been used effectively in extractive distillation to effect CO2 separation from methane and ethane.z2 In general, CO, lies between methane and ethane in relative volatility. Separation of CO2and Methane See Section 16, Hydrocarbon Recovery, of the 11th Edition of the GPSA Engineering Data Book.

hydrocarbon components are necessary in the Redlich-Kwong equation to predict the K-values accurately when high concentrations of non-hydrocarbon components are present. They are especially important in CO, fractionation processes. and i n conventional fractionation plants to predict sulfur compound distribution. The Chao-Seader correlation' uses the Redlich-Kwong equation for the vapor phase, the regular solution model for liquid-mixture non-ideality, and a pure-liquid property correlation for effects of component identity. pressure. and temperature in the liquid phase. The correlation has been applied to a broad spectrum of compositions at temperatures from -0F 5' [-46"C] to 300F [150C] and pressures to 2000 psia [13.8 MPa(abs)]. The original (P,T) limitations have been reviewed.]? Prausnitz and Chueh have developed16 a procedure for highpressure systems employing a modified Redlich-Kwong equation for the vapor phase and for liquid-phase compressibility together with a modified Wohl-equation model for liquid phase activity coefficients. Complete computer program listings are given in their book. Parameters are given for most natural gas components. Adler et al. also use the Redlich-Kwong equation for the vapor and the Wohl equation form for the liquid phase.6 The corresponding states principlelo is used in all the procedures discussed above in that the behavior of all substances is assumed to follow the same equation forms and equation parameters are correlated versus critical properties and acentric factor. An alternate corresponding states approach is to refer the behavior of all substances to the properties of a reference substance, these properties being given by tabular data or a highly accurate state equation developed specifically for the reference substance. The deviations of other substances from the simple criticalparameter-ratio correspondence to the reference substance are then correlated. Mixture rules and combination rules, as usual, extend the procedure to mixture calculations. Leland and coworkers have developed9 this approach extensively for hydrocarbon mixtures. "Shape factors" are used to account for departure from simple corresponding states relationships, with the usual reference substance being methane. The shape factors are developed from PVT and fugacity data for pure components. The procedure has been tested over a reduced temperature range of 0.4 to 3.3 and for pressures to 4000 psia r27.6 MPa(abs)]. Sixty-two components have been correlated including olefinic, naphthenic, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The Soave Redlich-Kwong (SRK)I3 is a modified version of the Redlich-Kwong equation. One of the parameters in the original Redlich-Kwong equation, a, is modified to a more temperature dependent term. It is expressed as function of the acentric factor. The SRK correlation has improved accuracy in predicting the saturation conditions of both pure substances and mixtures. It can also predict phase behavior in the critical region, although at times the calculations become unstable around the critical point. Less accuracy has been obtained when applying the correlation to hydrogen-containing mixtures.

Peng and Robinson14 similarly developed a two-constant Redlich-Kwong equation of state in 1976. In this correlation, the attractive pressure term of the semi-empirical van der Waals equation has been modified. It accurately predicts the vapor pressures of pure substances and equilibrium ratios of mixtures. In addition to offering the same simplicity as the SRK equation, the Peng-Robinson equation is more accurate in predicting the liquid density. In applying any of the above correlations, the original critical/physical properties used in the derivation must be inserted into the appropriate equations. One may obtain slightly different solutions from different computer programs, even for the same correlation. This can be attributed to different iteration techniques, convergence criteria, initial estimation values, etc. Determination and selection of interaction parameters and selection of a particular equation of state must be done carefully, considering the system components, the operating conditons, etc.
