Hydrates: 2016 #49

A 0.7 SG NG mix at 40 dF can raise to what pressure without anticipating hydrates?

165 dF; see table on 8 FAC 1hydrate tables can be found anywhere (Katz, McCain, etc.) and the Guidebook updates have an entire page on hydrates word problem discussion.

Note that on the CBT you would likely be provided with charts or tables for this sort of problem. The Guidebook uses tables, and I think this would be the most likely approach (other than a word problem, in which the Guidebook summarizes the many approaches).

But I would definitely do practice problems because it's confusing when hydrate problems are worded to make them difficult to understand. No matter what, I would  at least look over the Handbook Series on hydrates using the Guidebook summary as the most relevant time-saving overview I know of. Hydrates are a very big and complicated subject but it is highly unlikely you would see something esoteric on the PE exam and thus I would stick with the summary and the practice problems.
