One of the important, practical and simple methods for hydrate formation conditionis empirical equations, and so far many empirical equations have been presented to predict thetemperature and pressure of hydrate formation. In this study, the methods and empiricalcorrelations have been reviewed and their predictive capabilities have been evaluated with ...

gas hydrates are a costly problem when they plug oil and gas pipelines. the best way to determine the hft and pressure is to measure these conditions experimentally for every gas system. since this is not practical in terms of time and money, correlations are the other alternative tools. there are a small number of correlations for specific gravity method to predict the hydrate formation. as th...

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...

gas hydrate formation in production and transmission pipelines and consequent plugging of these lines have been a major flow-assurance concern of the oil and gas industry for the last 75 years. gas hydrate formation rate is one of the most important topics related to the kinetics of the process of gas hydrate crystallization. the main purpose of this study is investigating phenomenon of gas hyd...

in this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. to do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. the new model is based on the van der waals - platteeuw hydrate equation of state. in order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions the simplified...

based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. the results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to othe...
