Experimental Investigation of Gas Hydrates Production in a Spraying Reactor
Natural gas hydrates can be formed and stored at much more moderate thermodynamic conditions compared to conventional gas storage media that make it as a new means of transportation and storage for natural gas. In this work, an experimental investigation of natural gas hydrate formation has been conducted in a high-pressure water-spraying reactor, which is cooled by the circulation water through an external cooling jacket. The process of hydrate formation can be observed visually through a pair of glass windows and recorded by a digital video. The characteristics of gas hydrate formation by water spraying under different conditions were determined by the development of pressure combined with temperature. The results showed that the induction time of hydrate formation can be greatly shortened by water spraying. Solution with appropriate surfactant SDS was found to increase the formation rate obviously and the mechanism was discussed.
