Electric permittivity or dielectric constant is a physical property that depends on temperature and pressure ε(p,T). Based on this property, a measuring technique consisting of a cylindrical resonant cavity that works in the microwave spectrum has been developed. Equilibrium data of fluid mixtures are measured at high pressure using a synthetic method, where phase transition is determined under isothermal conditions due to the change of the dielectric constant. This technique may be a more accurate alternative to conventional visual synthetic methods. The technique was validated measuring pure CO2, and phase behaviour was then determined for two binary mixtures [CO2 (0.6) + CH4 (0.4)] and [CO2 (0.4) + CH4 (0.6)], results for which are presented. These systems are interesting for the study of biogas–like mixtures. In addition, data were compared with the equation of state used for natural gas GERG-2008, and also, they were modelled using Peng-Robinson equation of state and Wong- Sandler mixing rules, which are widely employed in chemical industries and which give good results.
