The design of improved processes for producing hydrogen sulphide (H2S)-rich natural gases faces a general scarcity of experimental data, because of the high toxicity and corrosive character of H2S. We present here a prospective application of Monte Carlo simulation to predict desired fluid properties. A first step was the selection of intermolecular potentials for water, H2S, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane on the basis of pure component properties (vapour pressures, vapourisation enthalpies, liquid densities, supercritical densities at high pressure). A second step involved the prediction of phase diagrams of binary and ternary mixtures of the methane–H2S–water system, using two-phase and three-phase Gibbs ensemble simulations. In a third step the density and excess enthalpy of the CO2–H2S system were computed for a large range of pressure, temperature and compositions. Comparison with available experimental data showed that all investigated properties could be consistently predicted without needing parameter calibration on binary data. The results also provided a qualitative understanding of water solubility in H2S-rich fluids based on molecular self-association.
