Hydrate Open Structure

The PVTsim Hydrate Open Structure library supports the following calculation options:

Hydrate Calculation Type	Description
PT Hydrate Flash	Flash for specified pressure (P) and temperature (T). Considers gas, oil, aqueous, Hydrate I, Hydrate II, Hydrate H, Ice and pure salt phases.
Hydrate Formation PT curve	Calculation of the hydrate formation pressure-temperature (PT) curve.
Hydrate Formation Pressure	Calculation of the hydrate formation pressure (P) for a given temperature (T).
Hydrate Formation Temperature	Calculation of the hydrate formation temperature (T) for a given pressure (P).
Minimum Inhibitor	Calculation of the minimum inhibitor amount needed to prevent hydrate formation at given temperature (T) and pressure (P).

The plan is to further develop the Open Structure Architecture to also comprise, allocation software, etc.
