For modeling an equation of state suitable for describing associating fluids, we combined the cubic equation of state (Peng-Robinson) and an association term of SAFT. The resulting EoS (Cubic-Plus-Association) is not cubic with respect to volume and contains five pure compound parameters. Excellent correlations of both vapour pressures and saturated liquid volumes were obtained for n-alcohols and secondary alcohols. We considered a method for reducing the number of adjustable pure compound parameters from five to three, and the resulting 3-parameters EoS relation maintained the good correlation of vapour pressures and saturated liquid volumes.
