We study the long time formation of rarefaction waves appearing in balance laws by means of singular perturbation methods. The balance laws are non standard because they contain a variable u that appears only in the flux terms. We present a concrete example occurring in flow of steam, nitrogen and water in porous media and an abstract example for a class of systems of three equations. In the concrete example the zero-order equations resulting from the expansion yield a type of conservation law system called compositional model in Petroleum Engineering. In this work we show how compositional models originate from physically more fundamental systems of balance laws. Under appropriate conditions, we prove that certain solutions of the system of balance laws decay with time to rarefaction wave solutions in the compositional model originating from the system of balance laws.
