Hydrate plugging is the major challenge in the flow assurance of deep-sea pipelines. For water-in-oil emulsions, this risk could be significantly reduced with the addition of anti-agglomerants (AAs). Hydrates often form from water-in-oil emulsions and the measurement of emulsion and slurry viscosity constitutes the basis for the application of hydrate slurry flow technology. In this work, using...

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...

Small-scale morphology of gas hydrate is important for understanding the formation of gas hydrate deposits, for estimating the concentrations of gas hydrate from geophysical data, and for predicting their response to climate change or commercial production. The recent use of borehole pressure coring tools has allowed marine gas-hydrate-bearing sediments to be recovered with centimeter to sub-mi...

Clathrate hydrates are crystalline compounds formed by a physically stable interaction between water and relatively small guest molecules. Under suitable conditions of guest pressure and temperature, water molecules, via hydrogen bonds, form into polyhedral cavities that connect to give space-filling frameworks. Because of partial cage filling, these crystalline compounds are nonstoichiometric....

The formation and presence of clathrate hydrates could influence the composition stability planetary ices comets; they are at heart development numerous complex models, all which include necessary condition imposed by their curves, some cage occupancy or host-guest content hydration number, but fewer take into account kinetics aspects. We measure temperature-dependent-diffusion-controlled carbo...

Methane hydrate formation and dissociation kinetics were investigated in seawater-saturated consolidated Ottawa sand-pack under sub-seafloor conditions to study the influence of effective pressure on formation and dissociation kinetics. To simulate a sub-seafloor environment, the pore-pressure was varied relative to confining pressure in successive experiments. Hydrate formation was achieved by...

Given that most of the gaseous constituents of industrial chimneys are usually carbon dioxide which is one of the most important greenhouse gases. It seems that the hydration process is one of the newest methods for the separation of this gas from gaseous mixtures. In the gas hydrate formation industry, in addition to disadvantages, there are some advantages such as gas separation, transmission...

Scientific and technological innovations are needed to realize effective production of natural gas hydrates. Whereas global estimates of natural gas hydrate reservoirs are vast, accumulations vary greatly in nature and form. Suboceanic deposits vary from disperse concentrations residing at low saturations in the pore space of unconsolidated sediments with sand-sized particles to higher concentr...

â  abstract: in this work, the kinetics of ethane hydrate formation has been studied experimentally and a kinetic model based on chemical affinity has been described for predicting the hydrate growth process in the stirred batch reactor at a constant volume. the experiments were done with both pure water and aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds). the effect of sds on formation kineti...
