Abstract
The content of small amounts of water and condensate in the natural gas generate problems in transport lines, cause corrosion and other damage in compression equipment or turbines. That is why natural gas must be submitted to various treatments to meet established quality specifications; between the quality parameters is the Hydrocarbon Dew Point (HCDP), which indicates the minimum temperature at which gas can be submitted without condensed, to set this parameter, it is necessary to consider thermodynamic, climate and regulatory criteria. However, not all HCDP regulations are equal; therefore, a gas that is transported in the pipeline system of a country may not be suitable for the network in another country. Given the above, this article presents the establishment of a possible additional value hydrocarbon dew point for the warm area of Colombia, performing a hydraulic simulation in dynamic state, which provides for inclusion of the temperature profile and the relief flowing through the pipeline.
Keywords: HCDP, Condensate, Hydrocarbon dew Point, Natural Gas.
