In this joint contribution, we presented new high-pressure Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) data for triethylene glycol (TEG) and methanol in CO₂, quantified via ¹H-NMR spectroscopy.
Our results show that common EoS models (CPA, PR) can underpredict impurity solubility by up to 30%, especially under pipeline-relevant conditions.
- Liquid dropout
- Foaming and corrosion
- Storage site contamination
The work provides a critical step towards data-driven model refinement for safer and more robust CCS infrastructure.
If you’re looking for in-depth expertise for your CO2 projects, let’s talk.
