EOS Limitations

EOS	Known Limitation
SRK/PR	Poor near critical point; liquid density without volume correction
CPA	Slower convergence; limited component database for association
GERG-2008	Only natural gas components (21 components)
PC-SAFT	Limited BIP database; slower than cubic EOS
BWRS	Only 2 components parameterized

Component Database Limitations

Component Type	Coverage
Light HCs (C1-C10)	✅ Excellent
Heavy HCs (C11-C36)	✅ Good (TBP fractions)
Common gases (N2, CO2, H2S, H2, O2)	✅ Excellent
Water, MEG, methanol, TEG	✅ Good (CPA parameterized)
Amines (MEA, DEA, MDEA)	⚠️ Limited
Sulfur species (S8, SO2, COS)	⚠️ Partial
Ionic species	⚠️ Limited database
Polymers	⚠️ Few PC-SAFT parameters
Refrigerants	⚠️ Some available
Specialty chemicals	❌ Case-by-case
