Title: High pressure PVT measurements on fluids containing hydrogen sulfide

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5826759

The petroleum and chemical industry are interested in the pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) behavior of many compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and methanol which decompose at high temperature. PVT measurements made on these compounds in different laboratories are often inconsistent at higher temperatures due to the decomposition of the compounds. To satisfy the need for data for these types of fluids, the authors constructed a new apparatus which minimizes the residence time of the sample to measure the densities of fluids up to 140 MPa and 500 K. This new apparatus and experimental technique combines two established gas expansion techniques. This combination eliminates the inherent disadvantages of the Burnett method and the gasometer while retaining many of the advantages.
