520 _aMethanol is probably one of the most versatile solvents in the natural gas processing industry. Historically, methanol was the first commercial organic physical solvent and has been used for hydrate inhibition, dehydration, gas sweetening and liquids recovery. Most of these applications involve low temperature where methanol’s physical properties are advantageous compared with other solvents which exhibit high viscosity problems or even solids formation. Operation at low temperatures tends to suppress methanol’s most significant disadvantage, high solvent loss. Methanol has been extensively used as a hydrate inhibitor for conditions where the Hammerschmidt equation is applicable. Outside this range, predicting methanol’s behavior is more complicated than the empirical correlations that are provided in industrial standard data books. In fact, the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibrium of mixtures of methanol, water and hydrocarbons are notoriously difficult to predict. Methanol shows both polar and non-polar characteristics. Consequently, these characteristics give methanol the unique ability to be used in an extensive range of applications. This paper will review some of these diverse applications: hydrate inhibition, gas dehydration, sweetening and liquids recovery.
