CERE Seminar - Francois Kruger

“Is MEG the next big thing in Green + Bio Engineering?”

In short, no! But glycols will be widely used in the oil & gas industry for many years to come and the accurate description of their properties is essential for the design and operation of several technological applications.

This project is predominantly interested in the use of mono- and tri-ethylene glycol (MEG/TEG) as a dehydrating agent in subsea installations in the Norwegian Sea.

During the seminar we will give an overview of the project, detailing the various experimental and thermodynamic modelling work to be completed.

The experimental section of the project is focussed on generating high pressure vapour-liquid equilibrium data for MEG/TEG in mixtures with water and methane, while the modelling section considers how we model these systems and whether there are ways to do it better.

Following the project description, the initial modelling results will be presented and discussed (hopefully with good input and suggestions from the audience).
