    Glycolinjection: This Spreadsheet Calculates The Minimum Amount of Required Inhibitor Usage. Instructions

    Uploaded by

    This spreadsheet calculates the minimum amount of glycol needed to inhibit gas hydrates when injecting gas. It requires inputs like gas flow rate, pressure, temperature and water content and uses Hammerschmidt's method to determine the amount of glycol required. Based on the inputs provided, it finds that 187.2 lbs/MMscf of 75% ethylene glycol solution is required, equivalent to 249.6 lbs/MMscf or 27.49 gal/MMscf of commercial inhibitor solution.
