📝 Overview

The Hydrate Inhibitor Dosage Calculator estimates the required amount of hydrate inhibitor (methanol or glycol) for produced water in pipelines. It supports common industry standards, allows flexible unit selection, and gives a clear acceptance message based on best practice.

🧾 Inputs

  • Produced Water Volume: m³, bbl, L (selectable)
  • Design Dosage (% by volume): User entry
  • Inhibitor Type: Methanol (MeOH), Ethylene Glycol (MEG/TEG)
  • Pipeline Pressure: bar, psi, MPa (selectable)
  • Pipeline Temperature: °C, °F (selectable)
  • Design Code/Standard:
    • ISO 13623
    • API RP 14E
    • DNVGL-RP-F110
  • Output Inhibitor Volume Unit: m³, bbl, L

🧮 Calculations

  • Converts all quantities to SI units internally.
  • Main calculation: textInhibitorVolume=textProducedWaterVolumetimesleft(fractextDosage(%)100right)\\text{Inhibitor Volume} = \\text{Produced Water Volume} \\times \\left(\\frac{\\text{Dosage (\%)}}{100}\\right)textInhibitorVolume=textProducedWaterVolumetimesleft(fractextDosage(%)100right)
  • Flags acceptance if dosage is ≤ 0.5% (industry typical), otherwise warns for review.

📤 Outputs

  • Acceptance Status: ✅ (typical range) or ⚠️ (review required)
  • Required Inhibitor Volume: In selected unit
  • Summary of all key input parameters
