Gas Hydrate Growth Kinetics: A Parametric Study

Gas Hydrate Growth Kinetics: A Parametric Study

Gas hydrate growth kinetics was studied at a pressure of 90 bars to investigate the effect of temperature, initial water content, stirring rate, and reactor size in stirred semi-batch autoclave reactors. The mixing energy during hydrate growth was estimated by logging the power consumed. The theoretical model by Garcia-Ochoa and Gomez for estimation of the mass transfer parameters in stirred ta...

Formation Kinetics of Structure H Gas Hydrate

This paper investigates the kinetics of structure H (sH) formation kinetics above and below the structure I (sI) formation equilibrium curve at temperatures of between 2°C and 6°C. Methane was used as a help gas and methylcyclohexane (MCH) was used as sH former. It was concluded that in the points above the sI formation equilibrium curve, at the first, the sI forms, and then converts to sH be...

formation kinetics of structure h gas hydrate

this paper investigates the kinetics of structure h (sh) formation kinetics above and below the structure i (si) formation equilibrium curve at temperatures of between 2â°c and 6â°c. methane was used as a help gas and methylcyclohexane (mch) was used as sh former. it was concluded that in the points above the si formation equilibrium curve, at the first, the si forms, and then converts to sh be...

Gas hydrate measurements at Hydrate Ridge using Raman spectroscopy

Oceanic gas hydrates have been measured near the seafloor for the first time using a seagoing Raman spectrometer at Hydrate Ridge, Oregon, where extensive layers of hydrates have been found to occur near the seafloor. All of the hydrates analyzed were liberated from the upper meter of the sediment column near active gas venting sites in water depths of 770– 780 m. Hydrate properties, such as st...
