Hydrate formation and dissociation processes were carried out in the presence of a pure quartz porous medium impregnated with a metallic powder made with a CuSn12 alloy. Experiments were firstly made in the absence of that powder; then, different concentrations were added to the porous medium: 4.23 wt.%, 18.01 wt.%, and 30.66 wt.%. Then, the hydrate dissociation values were compared with those present in the literature. The porous medium was found to act as an inhibitor in the presence of carbon dioxide, while it did not alter methane hydrate, whose formation proceeded similarly to the ideal trend. The addition of CuSn12 promoted the process significantly. In particular, in concentrations of up to 18.01 wt.%, CO2 hydrate formed at milder conditions until it moved below the ideal equilibrium curve. For methane, the addition of 30.66 wt.% of powder significantly reduced the pressure required to form hydrate, but in every case, dissociation values remained below the ideal equilibrium curve.

Abstract The global warming is an important environmental concern and the carbon capture and storage (CCS) emerges as a very promising technology. Captured carbon dioxide (CO2) can be stored onshore or offshore in the aquifers. There is, however, a risk that stored CO2 will leak due to natural disasters. One possible solution to this is the natural formation of CO2 hydrates. Gas hydrate has an ice-like structure in which small gas molecules are trapped within cages of water molecules. Hydrate formation occurs under high pressure and low temperature conditions. Its stability under these conditions acts like a cap rock to prevent CO2 leaks. The main objective of this study is to understand how hydrate formation affects the permeability of leaked CO2 flows. The phase field method was used to simulate microscopic hydrate growth within the pore space of sand grains, while the lattice Boltzmann method was used to simulate two-phase flow. The results showed that the hydrate morphology within the pore space changes with the flow, and the permeability is significantly reduced as compared with the case without the flow.

Summary Carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by carbon-capture processes is generally not pure and can contain impurities such as N2, H2, CO, H2 S, and water. The presence of these impurities could lead to challenging flow-assurance issues. The presence of water may result in ice or gas-hydrate formation and cause blockage. Reducing the water content is commonly required to reduce the potential for corrosion, but, for an offshore pipeline system, it is also used as a means of preventing gas-hydrate problems; however, there is little information on the dehydration requirements. Furthermore, the gaseous CO2-rich stream is generally compressed to be transported as liquid or dense-phase in order to avoid two-phase flow and increase in the density of the system. The presence of impurities will also change the system's bubblepoint pressure, hence affecting the compression requirement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of hydrate formation in a CO2-rich stream and to study the phase behavior of CO2 in the presence of common impurities. An experimental methodology was developed for measuring water content in a CO2-rich phase in equilibrium with hydrates. The water content in equilibrium with hydrates at simulated pipeline conditions (e.g., 4°C and up to 190 bar) as well as after simulated choke conditions (e.g., at -2°C and approximately 50 bar) was measured for pure CO2 and a mixture of 2 mol% H2 and 98 mol% CO2. Bubblepoint measurements were also taken for this binary mixture for temperatures ranging from -20 to 25°C. A thermodynamic approach was employed to model the phase equilibria. The experimental data available in the literature on gas solubility in water in binary systems were used in tuning the binary interaction parameters (BIPs). The thermodynamic model was used to predict the phase behavior and the hydrate-dissociation conditions of various CO2-rich streams in the presence of free water and various levels of dehydration (250 and 500 ppm). The results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The developed experimental methodology and thermodynamic model could provide the necessary data in determining the required dehydration level for CO2-rich systems, as well as minimum pipeline pressure required to avoid two-phase flow, hydrates, and water condensation.
