Description
El contenido de pequeñas cantidades de agua y condensados en el gas natural generan problemas en el transporte por líneas, causan corrosión y otros daños en equipos de compresión o turbinas. Es por esto que el gas natural se debe someter a diversos tratamientos para cumplir con las especificaciones de calidad establecidas, entre los parámetros de calidad está el Punto de Rocío de Hidrocarburo (HCDP), el cual indica la temperatura mínima a la cual puede estar el gas sin que se presenten condensados. Para establecer este parámetro, es necesario tener en cuenta criterios termodinámicos, climáticos y regulatorios. Pero no todas las regulaciones de HCDP son iguales, por consiguiente, un gas que es transportado en la red de gasoductos de un país puede no ser apto para la red de otro país. Dado lo anterior, en el presente artículo se presenta el establecimiento de un posible valor adicional de punto de rocío de hidrocarburo para la zona cálida de Colombia, realizando una simulación hidráulica en estado dinámico que contempla la inclusión del perfil de temperatura y el relieve que atraviesa el gasoducto.Palabras clave: HCDP, condensados, punto de rocío por hidrocarburo, gas natural.
The content of small amounts of water and condensate in the natural gas generate problems in transport lines, cause corrosion and other damage in compression equipment or turbines. That is why natural gas must be submitted to various treatments to meet established quality specifications; between the quality parameters is the Hydrocarbon Dew Point (HCDP), which indicates the minimum temperature at which gas can be submitted without condensed, to set this parameter, it is necessary to consider thermodynamic, climate and regulatory criteria. However, not all HCDP regulations are equal; therefore, a gas that is transported in the pipeline system of a country may not be suitable for the network in another country. Given the above, this article presents the establishment of a possible additional value hydrocarbon dew point for the warm area of Colombia, performing a hydraulic simulation in dynamic state, which provides for inclusion of the temperature profile and the relief flowing through the pipeline.Keywords: HCDP, Condensate, Hydrocarbon dew Point, Natural Gas.
