The thickness of the process equipment increases in proportion to pressure for the methane hydrate transportation and storage. The pressure is one of the most important factors, because a material must be selected in the way of proper pressure and temperature to design the process equipment. Therefore, we tried to figure out whether the phase equilibrium temperature & pressure can be applied to the designed temperature and pressure or not, and carried out the thickness calculation of the pure methane hydrate container in accordance with “Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code - Division I of Section VIII, ASME”. Also, we studied on the effect of the container’s thickness using the results of the phase equilibrium temperature and pressure measurement including the inhibitor and promoter of the methane hydrate on some related references.

Gases releasing from shallow permafrost above 150 m may contain methane produced by the dissociation of pore metastable gas hydrates, which can exist in permafrost due to self-preservation. In this study, special experiments were conducted to study the self-preservation kinetics. For this, sandy samples from gas-bearing permafrost horizons in West Siberia were first saturated with methane hydrate and frozen and then exposed to gas pressure drop below the triple-phase equilibrium in the “gas–gas hydrate–ice” system. The experimental results showed that methane hydrate could survive for a long time in frozen soils at temperatures of −5 to −7 °C at below-equilibrium pressures, thus evidencing the self-preservation effect. The self-preservation of gas hydrates in permafrost depends on its temperature, salinity, ice content, and gas pressure. Prolonged preservation of metastable relict hydrates is possible in ice-rich sandy permafrost at −4 to −5 °C or colder, with a salinity of <0.1% at depths below 20–30 m.
