Options

Composition

  • Simple
  • Extended

This option is used to chose between a simple composition of common alkanes and non-organic compounds found in natural gas or an extended composition including a much wider set of components including common aromatics, naphthenes and sulphur compounds found in natural gas.

EOS Method

  • Peng-Robinson
  • Redlich-Kwong-Soave

This option is used to select whether the equation of state used in the solution of dew point temperature is the Peng-Robinson equation or the Redlich-Kwong-Soave equation.
