Re: Fw: Question on PhreeqcI and glycol



Thanks you very much for the quick reply.

The water in question is a condensed water that contains up to 
approximately 1,000 chlorides and a few millimoles of both CO2 and H2S. 
It is a system that produces bas and liquid hydrocarbons.  I believe that I 
can get some of the dissociation/complexation data that I will need.

Many thanks again. Regards,

Al
