Introduction
This document provides a functional specification and user guide to the specific
facilities in a 2360 dual detector C9+ chromatograph controller which has been
loaded with application software 2360Dew2. Also read the Gas Chromatograph
software and hardware manuals, ref. [1] and ref.[2] which provide a general
guide to the instrument.
2360Dew2 is application software for a C9+ (or better) dual detector analyser
which calculates the Dewpoint Temperature of the natural gas mixture, in
addition to the usual gas calculations. It also calculates an estimate of the
cricondentherm (maximum dew temperature above this temperature no
liquid will form at any pressure).
The operator can choose between either of 2 dewpoint calculation methods
(the results usually differ by about 2 Degrees C):
1. PR
(Peng Robinson gas equation of state)
2. RKS
(Redlich Kwong Soave gas equation of state).
The operator can specify up to 4 gas pressures and after each gas analysis
(irrespective of stream number), the software will calculate the dewpoint
temperature at each of these pressures, and also the cricondentherm
(maximum dewpoint temperature at any pressure). The temperature units are
Degrees centrigade, the pressures are specified in bars (absolute). The 4
pressures to be used in the calculation can be entered at the keypad, or using
MON, or sent over a communications link using SIM_2251 Modbus.
The 4 calculated dew temperatures, and the value of the cricondentherm and
the cricondentherm pressure can be read over Modbus (User Modbus or
SIM_2251).
The dewpoint temperature is sensitive to small amounts of the heavy
hydrocarbons (C9 and above) and also to the break down of each Carbon
number into the different isomers. In order to take account of this the dewpoint
calculations can use breakdowns of the measured components up to normal
C18, and also into the different isomers of C6..C9. The operator can define
each gas which could be included in the dew calculations (93 gases in all, see
Appendix 1) as being either a measured component, or as being a defined
fraction of a measured component. For example a C9+ measurement could be
broken into operator defined fractions of normal C9 through to normal C15. It
is expected that the breakdowns would be established by a laboratory analysis
carried out at regular intervals.
The calculated dewpoint temperatures and cricondentherm appear on the
standard analysis report. In addition a new Dewcalc Data report gives the
results and the actual extended analysis used in the dew calculation which
may include many more gases than that on the standard analysis report.

2360Dew2
The application allows 128 averages to be defined and stores 32 records of

each (1232 if an expanded memory card is fitted).
The current and last completed average values of all 128 averages can be read
over the Modbus communications link.
2360Dew2 also includes 2 summary reports of daily (24 hour) averages. These
are called 24Hr Short and 24Hr Current. They can both be printed, as with
any other report, either by operator request, or automatically. The 24Hr Short
report is intended for printing automatically at the end of each 24 hour average
period and shows the latest and previous daily averages. The 24Current report
shows the average values so far for the current day, and the last complete
average. The reports are shown in section 4.
This application uses the ISO 6976 (1995) standard, ref. [3], to calculate the
other gas properties, including calorific values, density and compressibility, all
at reference conditions. The operator can select the reference conditions, and
the units to be used for heating values.
All calculated values are available as analog signals (4..20mA) and can be read
via a serial communications link as Modbus registers.
All calculated results appear in the analysis reports (both those printed locally
on the serial printer connected to the 2350, and those printed or displayed at a
PC using the
MON software package).
2.
Mon menus
The MON menus are standard, as described in ref. [1], except for the System
menu, and the User Defined Numeric and Selection menus.
The first dewpoint temperature (DewTemp1), and the cricondentherm
temperature and pressure can be specified in the MON menus for limit alarms,
averages, user defined calculations, analogue output signals, and user defined
Modbus, using the following variable names:
DewTemp1
: cus_str_data field3
cricondentherm temperature : cus_str_data field4
cricondentherm pressure
: cus_str_data field5.

2.2 Application / User Defined Menus

The User Defined / Selection menu is used to define dewpoint calculation
method, and also the reference temperatures and units used in the ISO 6976
calculations.
Note that the operator can define TWO sets (primary and secondary) of reference
conditions and heating value units. The application calculates two sets (primary
and secondary) of results. The MON user can, if required, add the secondary
results to analysis reports by turning ON the required secondary values in the
Application / Calculations / Control menu.
Each set of reference conditions consists of two reference temperatures, i.e. the
reference temperature used for Metering (Trm), and the reference temperature
used for combustion (Trc), as described in the ISO 6976 standard, ref.[3]. The
reference pressure is always 1.01325 bar.
The following table (overleaf) describes the User Defined / Selection menu. All
values can be changed by the MON user.

3. Dewpoint calculations operator entries.

The choice of calculation method (PR or RKS) is made in the User Defined /
Selection menu.
The 4 pressures to be used are DewPres1..DewPres4, in units of bar (absolute) in
the User Defined / Numeric menu. For convenience, the resulting dew
temperatures and calculation status values are displayed in the same menu.
The gases used in the dewpoint calculation are also defined in the User Defined /
Numeric menu. For convenience the 93 gases available are split into groups a..o,
which appear in alphabetical order. The complete list is in Appendix 1. Any of the
93 gases supported in the dewpoint calculation can be specified as an operator
defined fraction of any of the measured components:
Each gas is assigned a number which is used as follows:
0.0
x.0
x.ffff -
this gas is not used in the dew calculations.

this gas is component no. x in the component data table.
this gas is fraction 0.ffff of component no. x.
e.g
e_NC9 14.0
and:
e_NC9
f_NC10
f_NC11
f_NC12
indicates that Normal C9 is component 14 in the CDT.
14.54
14.20
14.15
14.09
indicates that component 14 is 54% NC9,

20% NC10,
15% NC11,
9% NC12.
The default values in the application are correct for a C9+ analysis in which all of
the C9+ is assumed to be n_C9.
The calculated dew temperatures are printed on reports with a resolution of 0.1
Degrees Centigrade. The cricondentherm values are estimates based on the
sampling values near the previous calculated value after any large change in
composition the estimated maximum temperature will normally converge to within
1 degree after 2 analysis runs.

4. Dewpoint calculations status values.
The dewpoint and cricondentherm calculations can fail to give a valid result for
various reasons, e.g. pressure out of range, fluid is always gas at this pressure, etc.
The status values for each of the 5 streams are displayed an the Analysis and Dew
Calculation reports and can be read out as Modbus registers (sim_2251). A zero
value means that the calculation is OK, other values indicate an error.
The meanings of the status values are:
0 (OK)
1 (Err1)
2 (Err2)
3 (Err3)
4 (Err4)
5 (Err5)
6 (Err6)
normally OK.
- calculation is valid.
- no valid solution to gas equation found.
- mole% values are all zero if analysis is OK check Numeric menu.
- calculated fugacities too large probably unrealistic composition.
- single phase no liquid phase at this pressure
- pressure value (from operator or Modbus) is negative.
- (cricondentherm only) no maximum found next analysis

ISO 6976 Calculations
The calculation of the gas properties is done according to ISO 6976(1995):E, using
either a molar, mass or volume based calculation of calorific value. The reference
combustion temperature can be 0, 15, 20 or 25 DegC. The reference metering
temperature can be 0, 15 or 20 DegC.
5.1
Ideal Gas Calorific Values
The calorific values of the gas mixture are calculated on a molar basis, mass basis,
or volume basis, depending on the calorific value units selected by the CVUnits
parameters.
The calorific values are calculated at combustion temperatures of either 0 DegC,
15 DegC, 20 DegC or 25 DegC, depending on the CVTable parameter. The heating
values for the individual components are taken from ISO 6976:1995(E), Table 3,
using the values for the chosen combustion temperature.

Where:
Zair is the compressibility factor of dry standard air at the selected metering
reference temperature, 1.01325 bar.

Real gas dry calorific values

The ideal gas values for CV and density have to be corrected to real gas
values.
No correction is required if the calorific values are calculated on a molar or
mass basis.
If volumetric units are chosen the calorific values are corrected as:
Real gas CV = Ideal gas CV / Zmix
5.6
Real gas saturated calorific values

The calorific values on a water saturated gas basis are calculated from the
dry gas calorific values according to equation F.2 (excluded volume effect) in
ISO6976:1995(E).
The secondary effects described in section F.3 and F.4 are ignored.

Wobbe Index
The Wobbe index of the sample gas is calculated according to ISO6976(1995):E

section 8.2, equation (16).
NOTE: since the ISO 6976 standard defines the Wobbe Index as being derived from
the calorific value on a volumetric basis, the Wobbe Index is always in units of
MJ/m3, irrespective of the 'CVUnits' selected for the calorific value. It is based on
the volumetric superior dry calorific value, in units of MJ/m3.
The reference temperatures used for the Wobbe index calculation are those
defined by the CVTable parameter.
