Phase Separation of Methane and C01 using Pressure and Temperature Manipulation

This report constitutes of, as the title for this project suggests, separation of carbon
dioxide and methane by manipulating temperature and pressure. The objectives of this
project are mainly; to simulate both mixture in a separator and observe its vapor and
soild compositions after separated, secondly; to study the possibilities of forming gas
hydrate for methane and carbon dioxide to establish equilibrium conditions third; study
the effect of temperature and pressure governing the formation of gas and hydrate and
finally to compared and discuss the results obtained and recommend any improvement.
The methods of separation in the industry are mainly adsorption, membrane and
temperature and pressure method. The scope of study in this project is to separate carbon
dioxide and methane by just manipulating temperature and pressure. Focus of the project
will be on different types of fluid packages and phase equilibrium. The outcome
expected from this project is to see the ability of temperature and pressure work to
separate carbon dioxide into solid form and methane into vapor form.
