Experimental data available in the literature on the water content of alkanes (C-5 and higher) is widely scattered. The accurate determination of water content in hydrocarbons is critical for the petroleum and natural gas industries due to corrosion and hydrate formation problems. A molecular theory with a single parameter fit to water content data is shown to accurately correlate water mole fraction in alkanes from C-1 to C-16 which are in equilibrium with liquid water or ice. Moreover, a list of experimental data is recommended to the reader based on its agreement with the fundamental equation of state used in this work. An empirical equation is proposed to accurately correlate water content in C-5-C-16 alkanes for temperatures ranging from 293.15 K to 323.15 K and as a function carbon number.
