Converting 25MMscfd of Natural Gas to kg/hr: A Comprehensive Guide

AI Thread Summary
To convert 25 MMscfd of natural gas to kg/hr, the molecular weight is calculated as 18.94 g/mol. The conversion process involves determining the standard density of the gas using the formula: standard density = (MW of natural gas / MW of air) x standard density of air. Given that 1 MMscfd equals 1180 m^3/hr at standard conditions, the mass flow can be computed by multiplying the standard density by the standard volumetric flow rate. The feed conditions are specified as 6900 kPa and 298 K, which may require adjustments to the standard calculations.

Hi everyone

i need help converting 25MMscfd of natural gas to kg/hr
i calculated the molecular weight of the natural gas to be 18.94g/mol
the feed conditions are 6900kPa and 298K

i'm pretty sure 1MMscfd = 1180m^3/hr at standard conditions, I'm not sure how to work this out for the feed conditions

You can directly compute your mass flow in kg/hr as follows:

mass flow = standard density X standard volumetric flow rate.

Your standard volumetric flow rate is given as 25 MMscfd

You can figure the standard density from your molecular weight:

standard density = [ MW (natural gas) / MW (air) ] X standard density of air.
