Natural gas - Calculation of compression factor - Part 2: Calculation using molar-composition analysis (ISO 12213-2:2006)

ISO 12213 specifies methods for the calculation of compression factors of natural gases, natural gases containing a synthetic admixture and similar mixtures at conditions under which the mixture can exist only as a gas. This part of ISO 12213 specifies a method for the calculation of compression factors when the detailed composition of the gas by mole fractions is known, together with the relevant pressures and temperatures. The method is applicable to pipeline quality gases within the ranges of pressure p and temperature T at which transmission and distribution operations normally take place, with an uncertainty of about ± 0,1 %. It can be applied, with greater uncertainty, to wider ranges of gas composition, pressure and temperature (see Annex E). More detail concerning the scope and field of application of the method is given in ISO 12213-1.

Erdgas - Berechnung von Realgasfaktoren - Teil 2: Berechnungen basierend auf einer molaren Gasanalyse als Eingangsgröße (ISO 12213-2:2006)

Gemische Verfahren zur Berechnung der Realgasfaktoren unter Bedingungen fest, unter denen das Gemisch
nur als Gas existieren kann.
In diesem Teil von ISO 12213 wird ein Verfahren zur Berechnung der Realgasfaktoren für Gase festgelegt,
deren genaue stoffmengenmäßige Zusammensetzung ebenso wie die zutreffenden Drücke und
Temperaturen bekannt sind.
Das Verfahren ist mit einer Unsicherheit von etwa ± 0,1 % auf aufbereitete Erdgase innerhalb der Bereiche für
den Druck p und die Temperatur T anwendbar, bei denen Transport- und Verteilungsvorgänge üblicherweise
ablaufen. Es kann — mit höherer Unsicherheit — auch auf erweiterte Bereiche der Gaszusammensetzung,
des Drucks und der Temperatur angewendet werden (siehe Anhang E).
Weitere Angaben zum Geltungs- und Anwendungsbereich des Verfahrens sind in ISO 12213-1 enthalten.

Gaz naturel - Calcul du facteur de compression - Partie 2: Calcul à partir de l'analyse de la composition molaire (ISO 12213-2:2006)

L'ISO 12213 spécifie des méthodes pour le calcul des facteurs de compression des gaz naturels, des gaz naturels contenant un adjuvant synthétique et de mélanges similaires dans des conditions telles que le mélange ne peut exister que sous forme gazeuse.
Elle est divisée en trois parties: la présente partie, l'ISO 12213-2:2006, spécifie une méthode pour le calcul des facteurs de compression lorsque la composition détaillée du gaz par fractions molaires est connue, ainsi que les pressions et les températures correspondantes.
La méthode est applicable au gaz de qualité réseau dans les plages de pression, p, et de température, T, dans lesquelles s'effectuent normalement les opérations de transport et de distribution, avec une incertitude de l'ordre de +/- 0,1 %. Elle peut s'appliquer, avec une incertitude plus élevée, à des plages plus étendues de composition des gaz, de pression et de température.

© ISO 2006 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 12213-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 193, Natural gas, Subcommittee SC 1, Analysis of natural gas. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12213-2:1997), Table 1 of which has been technically revised.

© ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 4 Method of calculation 4.1 Principle The method recommended uses an equation based on the concept that pipeline quality natural gas may be uniquely characterized for calculation of its volumetric properties by component analysis. This analysis, together with the pressure and temperature, are used as input data for the method. The method uses a detailed molar-composition analysis in which all constituents present in amounts exceeding a mole fraction of 0,000 05 should be represented. Typically, this includes all alkane hydrocarbons up to about C7 or C8 together with nitrogen, carbon dioxide and helium. For other gases, additional components such as water vapour, hydrogen sulfide and ethylene need to be taken into consideration (see Reference [1] in the Bibliography). For manufactured gases, hydrogen and carbon monoxide are also likely to be significant components. 4.2 The AGA8-92DC equation The compression factor is determined using the AGA8 detailed characterization equation (denoted hereafter as the AGA8-92DC equation). This is an extended virial-type equation. The equation is described in AGA Report No. 8[1]. It may be written as ()()185813131expnnnkbknnnnnnZBCbckcρρρρρ===+−+−−∑∑mrrrr**nnC (1) where Z is the compression factor; B is the second virial coefficient; ρm is the molar density (moles per unit volume); ρr is the reduced density; bn, cn, kn are constants (see Table B.1); nC∗ are coefficients which are functions of temperature and composition. The reduced density ρr is related to the molar density ρm by the equation 3Kρρ=rm (2) where K is a mixture size parameter. The molar density can be written as ()pZRTρ=m (3) where p is the absolute pressure; R is the universal gas constant; T is the absolute temperature. SIST EN ISO 12213-2:2009



ISO 12213-2:2006(E) © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved
3Z is calculated as follows: first the values of B and nC∗(n = 13 to 58) are calculated, using relationships given in Annex B. Equations (1) and (3) are then solved simultaneously for ρm and Z by a suitable numerical method (see Figure B.1). 4.3 Input variables The input variables required for use with the AGA8-92DC equation are the absolute pressure, absolute temperature and molar composition. The composition is required, by mole fraction, of the following components: nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, methyl-2-propane (iso-butane), n-pentane, methyl-2-butane (iso-pentane), hexanes, heptanes, octanes, nonanes, decanes, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, helium, oxygen and water. NOTE If the mole fractions of the heptanes, octanes, nonanes and decanes are unknown, then use of a composite C6+ fraction may be acceptable. The user should carry out a sensitivity analysis in order to test whether a particular approximation of this type degrades the result. All components with mole fractions greater than 0,000 05 shall be accounted for. Trace components (such as ethylene) shall be treated as given in Table 1. If the composition is known by volume fractions, these shall be converted to mole fractions using the method given in ISO 6976. The sum of all mole fractions shall be unity to within 0,000 1. 4.4 Ranges of application 4.4.1 Pipeline quality gas The ranges of application for pipeline quality gas are as defined below: absolute pressure 0 MPa u p u 12 MPa temperature 263 K u T u 338 K superior calorific value 30 MJ⋅m−3 u HS u 45 MJ⋅m−3 relative density 0,55 u d u 0,80 The mole fractions of the natural-gas components shall be within the following ranges: methane 0,7 u xCH4 u 1,00 nitrogen 0 u xN2 u 0,20 carbon dioxide 0 u xCO2 u 0,20 ethane 0 u xC2H6 u 0,10 propane 0 u xC3H8 u 0,035 butanes 0 u xC4H10 u 0,015 pentanes 0 u xC5H12 u 0,005 hexanes 0 u xC6 u 0,001 heptanes 0 u xC7 u 0,000 5 SIST EN ISO 12213-2:2009

For use of the method outside these ranges, see Annex E. 4.5 Uncertainty 4.5.1 Uncertainty for pipeline quality gas The uncertainty of results for use on all pipeline quality gas within the limits described in 4.4.1 is ± 0,1 % (for the temperature range 263 K to 350 K and pressures up to 12 MPa) (see Figure 1). For temperatures above 290 K and at pressures up to 30 MPa the uncertainty of the result is also ± 0,1 %. For lower temperatures, the uncertainty of ± 0,1 % is at least maintained for pressures up to about 10 MPa. This uncertainty level has been determined by comparison with the GERG databank of measurements of the compression factor for natural gases [2], [3]. A detailed comparison was also made with the GRI pVT data on gravimetrically prepared simulated natural-gas mixtures [4], [5]. The uncertainty of the measurements in both databanks used to test the method is of the order of ± 0,1 %. 4.5.2 Uncertainty for wider ranges of application The estimated uncertainties for calculations of compression factors beyond the limits of quality given in 4.4.1 are discussed in Annex E. 4.5.3 Impact of uncertainties of input variables Listed in Table 2 are typical values for the uncertainties of the relevant input variables. These values may be achieved under optimum operating conditions. As a general guideline only, an error propagation analysis using the uncertainties in the input variables produces an additional uncertainty of about ± 0,1 % in the result at 6 MPa and within the temperature range 263 K to 338 K. Above 6 MPa, the additional uncertainties are greater and increase roughly in direct proportion to the pressure. SIST EN ISO 12213-2:2009

Description of the AGA8-92DC method B.1 General For gas mixtures, the compression factor Z is calculated using the equations given in 4.2. This annex gives a detailed description of the computations and the necessary numerical values. The description is based upon that given in AGA Report No. 8 [1]. A program implementing this description is given in Annex F, and as such provides the correct solution. Other computational procedures are acceptable provided that they can be demonstrated to yield identical numerical results (see Annex C for examples). B.2 Computer implementation of the AGA8-92DC method B.2.1 Overview of the calculation procedure I Input the absolute temperature T, absolute pressure p and mole fraction of each component xi of the mixture. NOTE For pressure and temperature, values known in any other units will first have to be converted precisely to values in megapascals and kelvins, respectively (see ISO 80000-4 and ISO 80000-5 and Annex D for relevant conversion factors). II Compute the equation of state coefficients B and nC∗ (n = 13 to 58) that depend on T and xi. III Solve iteratively for the molar density ρm, using the equation of state rearranged to give the pressure p. IV Output the compression factor after the computed pressure from step III and the input pressure from step I agree within a specified range of convergence (e.g. 1E-06). Figure B.1 shows a flow diagram of these steps. B.2.2 Details of the calculation procedure Step I Input the absolute temperature T, absolute pressure p and mole fraction xi of each constituent in the natural-gas mixture. Step II At the absolute temperature T and the mole fractions xi of the natural gas (as input from step I), compute the composition- and temperature-dependent coefficients B and nC∗ (n = 13 to 58).

Step III In the computation of the compression factor Z, the composition of the gas is known, the absolute temperature T of the gas is known and the absolute pressure is known. The problem then is to compute the molar density ρm, using the equation of state expression for the pressure p. For this purpose, the definition of the compression factor Z as given in Equation (1) (see 4.2) is substituted into Equation (3) to obtain an equation for the pressure as given in Equation (B.10): ()()1858**13131expnnnkbknnnnnnnnpRTBCCbckcρρρρρρ==⎡⎤⎢⎥=+−+−−⎢⎥⎣⎦∑∑mmrrrr (B.10) Equation (B.10) is solved using standard equation of state density search algorithms. Having obtained an equation for the pressure p [Equation (B.10)], the problem is then to search for the value of the molar density ρm that will yield the pressure that is within a preset limit (e.g. 1 × 10−6) equal to the input pressure. The reduced density ρr is related to the molar density ρm by the mixture size parameter [see Equation (2) in 4.2]. The mixture size parameter K is calculated using the following equation: ()()2152552511121NNNiiijijijiijiKxKxxKKK−===+⎛⎞⎜⎟=+−⎜⎟⎝⎠∑∑∑ (B.11) Note that in the summations the subscript i refers to the ith component in the gas mixture and the subscript j refers to the jth component in the gas mixture. The quantity N is the number of components in the mixture. Thus, in the single summation, i ranges over the integer values from 1 to N. For example, for a mixture of 12 components, N = 12 and there would be 12 terms in the single sum. In the double summation, i ranges SIST EN ISO 12213-2:2009

For example, for a mixture of 12 components, there would be 66 terms in the double summation if all values of Kij differed from 1,0. However, because many of the values of Kij are 1,0, the number of non-zero terms in the double summation is small for many natural-gas mixtures. Note that all values of Kij are 1,0 except for the values given in Table B.3.
