Ethylene glycol simulation
OLI software predicts mineral scaling in the presence of ethylene glycol
Ethylene glycol is an important component in the oil and gas and chemical industries. Among various applications, it is used for gas hydrate inhibition and as an anti-solvent in crystallization processes. When used for gas hydrate management, it may cause adverse scaling phenomena in drilling fluids and produced water. Therefore, it is essential to predict the solubility of various inorganic salts in the presence of ethylene glycol.
OLI's Mixed-Solvent Electrolyte (MSE) framework is perfectly suited for this purpose.
For more details how the MSE framework predicts the properties of mixtures of water, ethylene glycol, acid gases, and various salts, OLI has published a paper,
"Ethylene Glycol and its Mixtures with Water and Electrolytes: Thermodynamic and Transport Properties"
This paper appeared in the journal, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
