What is it about?
The water content of natural gas ( The amount of equilibrium water in the gas at given T and P) is a critical component of the gas that may result in severe operational problems, if not reduced to acceptable levels through dehydration. This study evaluates the performance of fourteen water content correlations, using simulated results from the cubic plus association equation of states ( CPA-EoS), as the standard. Their suitability for accurately predicting the amount of water in the gas in equilibrium with water, hydrates, salts, and acid gases, was presented.

Why is it important?
The findings from the evaluation showed correlations that were best suited for various Temperature and Pressure ranges. It also showed the best correlations for predicting water content of Natural Gas in equilibrium with water, hydrates, salts, and acid gases.
Perspectives
The outcome of this study can be applied to the development or improvement of process software for natural gas water content evaluation.
