Formation Of Hydrates

<p>The continuously increasing trend of natural gas (NG) consumption due to its clean nature and abundant availability indicates an inevitable transition to an NG-dominated economy. Solidified natural gas (SNG) storage via combustible ice or clathrate hydrates presents an economically sound prospect, promising high volume density and long-term storage. Herein, we establish 1,3-dioxolane (DIOX) as a highly efficient dual-action (thermodynamic and kinetic promoter) additive for the formation of clathrate (methane sII) hydrate. By synergistically combining a small concentration (300 ppm) of the kinetic promoter L-tryptophan with DIOX, we further demonstrated the ultra-rapid formation of hydrates with a methane uptake of 83.81 (0.77) volume of gas/volume of hydrate (v/v) within 15 min. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fastest reaction time reported to date for sII hydrates related to SNG technology and represents a 147% increase in the hydrate formation rate compared to the standard water–DIOX system. Mixed methane–DIOX hydrates in pelletized form also exhibited incredible stability when stored at atmospheric pressure and moderate temperature of 268.15 K, thereby showcasing the potential to be industrially applicable for the development of a large-scale NG storage system.</p>

Formation Of Hydrates

Nowadays, when the emphasis is on alternative means of energy, natural gas is still used as an efficient and convenient fuel both in the home (for heating buildings and water, cooking, drying and lighting) and in industry together with electricity. In industrial terms, gas is one of the main sources of electricity generation in both developed and developing countries. Pipelines are the most popular means of transporting natural gas domestically and internationally. The main reasons for the constipation of gas pipelines are the formation of hydrates, freezing of water plugs, pollution, etc. It is an urgent task to take timely measures against the formation of hydrates in the pipeline. To stop gas hydrate formation in gas transporting pipelines, from existing methods the mathematical modelling with hydrodynamic method is more acceptable. In this paper the problem of prediction of possible points of hydrates origin in the main pipelines taking into consideration gas non-stationary flow and heat exchange with medium is studied. For solving the problem the system of partial differential equations governing gas non-stationary flow in main gas pipeline is investigated. The problem solution for gas adiabatic flow is presented.

Gas Hydrate Formation

Natural gas hydrate has huge gas storage capacity, natural gas hydrate storage and transportation technology opens up a new road for energy storage and transportation industry. The current biggest technical problem is how to improve the hydrate formation rate, to increase storage capacity and form continuously. This paper analyses existing research results, and find that SDS is researched the most widely currently, but there are many insufficient. Specific effects of different surfactants on hydrate formation were summarized, hydrate formation mechanism of surfactants were expounded. The lack of research and the research direction of the future were pointed out. It is thought that further study of surfactant mechanism and build kinetics model containing surfactant have important theory value.

In the last years the development of fuel cell (FC) technology has highlighted the correlated problem of storage and transportation of gaseous fuels, particularly hydrogen and methane. In fact, forecasting a large scale application of the FC technology in the near future, the conventional technologies of storage and transportation of gaseous fuels will be inadequate to support an expectedly large request. Therefore, many studies are being devoted to the development of novel efficient technologies for gas storage and transport; one of those is methane and hydrogen storage in solid, water-based clathrate hydrates. Clathrate hydrates (CH) are nonstoichiometric, nanostructured complexes of small “guest” molecules enclosed into water cages, which typically form at relatively low temperature-high pressure. In nature, CH of natural gas represent an unconventional and unexploited energy source and methane hydrate technology is already applied industrially. More recently, striking literature reports showed a rapid approach to the possibility of obtaining hydrogen hydrates at room temperature/mild pressures. Methane hydrate formation has been shown to be heavily promoted by some chemicals, notably amphiphiles. Our research is aimed at understanding the basic phenomena underlying CH formation, with a goal to render hydrate formation conditions milder, and increase the concentration of gas within the CH. In the present paper, we show the results of a preliminary attempt to relate the structural features of several amphiphilic additives to the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of methane hydrate formation—e.g., induction times, rate of formation, occupancy, etc. According to the present study, it is found that a reduction of induction time does not necessarily correlate to an increase of the formation rate and occupancy, and so on. This may be related to the nature of chemical moieties forming a particular amphiphile (e.g., the hydrophobic tail, head group, counterion, etc.). Moreover, a chemometric approach is presented which is aimed at obtaining information on the choice of coformers for H2 storage in hydrates at mild pressures and temperatures.

The intermittence and uncertainty of wind power and photovoltaic power have hindered the large-scale development of both. Therefore, it is very necessary to properly configure energy storage devices in the wind-solar complementary power grid. For the hybrid energy storage system composed of storage battery and supercapacitor, the optimization model of hybrid energy storage capacity is established with the minimum comprehensive cost as the objective function and the energy saving and charging state as the constraints. A simulated annealing artificial fish school algorithm with memory function is proposed to solve the model. The results show that the hybrid energy storage system can greatly save costs and improve system economy.
