Introduction

This Technical Publication, TP-22, serves to archive the GPSA Convergence Pressure Vapor Liquid1
Equilibrium Ratios (K-data) along with other K-data charts. The convergence pressure approach to handling1
composition dependency of K-values was omitted when the eleventh edition of the GPSA Engineering Data,
Book was published in 1998. The Editorial Review Board explained this change in the data book with the^
following statement:

Previous editions of this data book presented extensive sets of K-data based on the GPSA Convergence
Pressure Pk method. A component's K-data is a strong function of temperature and pressure and a weaker
function of composition. The convergence pressure method recognized composition effects in predicting K-
data. The convergence pressure technique can be used in hand-calculations, and it is still available as computer
correlations for K-data prediction.

There is now general availability of computers. This availability coupled with the more refined K-value1
correlations in modern process simulators, has rendered the previous GPA convergence pressure charts
outdated.

The convergence pressure method is presented in dual metric (SI) and English (FPS)units. This TP contains
the full explanatory text on convergence pressure from section 25 of the tenth Edition of the GPSA Engineering
Data Book (the blue books) supplemented with the SI information from the corresponding material from
section 18 in the 1980 SI Engineering Data Book (the green book). All of the standard charts are from the 1980
SI Engineering Data Book (the green book). In addition, other charts from the 1957 edition relating to acid gas
components in ethane and propane have been included.

For quick trouble-shooting and evaluation work a set of K-charts can be very helpful. They present an
illustration of the effect of temperature and pressure on K-values for light hydrocarbons. A composite set has
been retained in the eleventh edition of the data book for both the SI and FPS units.

The charts represent decades of careful comprehensive research directed by GPA and GPSA. Accordingly, the
Associations decided that they are to be retained as a resource available to the industry and academia.

Also included in this TP are K-data for High-Boiling Hydrocarbons (Poettman charts), some hydrogen sulfide
binanes and hydrogen binaries,

The Equilibrium or K-value curves were first published in chart form by the NGAA and NGSMA (predecessors
to the present day GPA and GPSA) in the early 1950's. Much of the basic data was compiled in tabular form
under the direction of Dr. G. G. Brown, Dean of Engineering,University of Michigan. The data were taken
from numerous published articles and unpublished experimental data. From these tabular data the first charts to
be used by the industry were prepared by the Fluor Corporation Engineering Department under the guidance of
Blaine Kuist, C. W. Leggett and C.K. Walker. Most of the painstaking draftsmanship was done by Orville
McAdams, also of Fluor. Stuart Hadden developed the concept of convergence pressure, thereby making the
charts useful for predicting K-values in a mixture containing any number of components. The charts were first
published by the NGAA in 1955.

In anticipation of needing additional information to expand the data and improve the accuracy. NGAA
appointed the first Equilibrium Committee chaired by Elliott Organik, United Gas Corporation. Members of
the committee were C. L. DePreister, California Research Corporation; Karl Hackmuth, Phillips Petroleum
Company; James Kilmer, Stanolind Oil and Gas Company; H. H. Rackford, Humble Oil and Refining
Company; Bryon Woertz, The Pure Oil Company; and Charles Webber, Sun Oil Company.

In 1957 the charts were completely redrawn to provide data at lower temperatures and to increase the internai
consistency of the K-values. Karl Hackmuth guided the chart revision. By then Byron Woertz had assumed
chairmanship of the Equilibrium Committee. E.A. Gromatzky, The Texas Company; R. H. Jacoby, Pan
American Petroleum Company; Herbert L. Stone, Humble Oil and Refining Company; and C. J. Walters.
California Research Corporation had become members of the committee.

This committee continued to act as a clearing house for new equilibria data and correlation methods. In 1958
these charts were published as Tables of Coefficients for use with early computers. Robert Norman and
Brymier Williams presented a paper at the 57th Annual NGAA convention in Dallas April, 1958 that was the
basis for the initial work that developed these machine computations.

A set of equations was developed to represent each page in the Data Book. The NGAA prepared a
reproduction of the data from these charts in two forms - point cards and coefficient cards. The point cards
were IBM cards containing approximately 70,000 data points (pressure, temperature, composition and
convergence pressure) punches on 17,000 cards. The coefficient cards were IBM cards that contained the
coefficients for the equations used to empirically correlate the point data. This required only 432 cards because
each card contained seven coefficients. This drastically reduced the number of cards which in turn reduced the
computer storage space required.

Through the years the convergence curves have been modified and improved. They are still published in the
GPSA Engineering Data Book and represent decades of careful and comprehensive research directed by GPA
and GPSA.
