These both activity coefficient models will work with little difference. It's you who will validate or tune the model to meet the operating data. All the best.

Glycol fluid package available in Hysys is for Natural gas Dehydration (Triethylene Glycol) Unit and not for the Ethylene Glycol unit by EO hydrolysis.
