Gas Hydrate Formation

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) by forming hydrate is an attractive technology for reducing the greenhouse effect. The most primary challenges are high energy consumption, low hydrate formation rate, and separation efficiency. In order to solve the problem of slow formation rate of gas hydrate, the effects of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyethylene oxide - polypropylene oxide - polyethylene oxide triblock copolymer (P123) on the formation of carbon dioxide hydrate have been investigated.The results show that CTAB, SDBS and P123 can reduce phase equilibrium point of CO2 hydrate. The lower pressure of hydration reaction system ,the larger induction time of CO2 hydrate reduction.Maximum promotion effect of SDBS was observed at 700 mg / kg which was comparable with that of CTAB at 300 mg / kg and P123 at 500 mg / kg. The study has a certain significance to improve the rate of hydrate formation.

The Impact

Abstract Nanofluids are known of having the capability to increase heat and mass transfer and their suitability to be used as kinetic gas hydrate promoters have been recently investigated. They have favorable properties such as high thermal conductivity, large surface area, recyclable, ecofriendly, and relatively cheap that are favorable for kinetic gas hydrate promoters. However, the nanomaterials face challenges related to their stability in the base fluid. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the impact of surfactant free nanofluid on hydrate formation and dissociation kinetics. In this work, COOH-MWCNT suspended in water is used to study the effect of surfactant free nanofluid on CO2 hydrates formation kinetic and stability. Kinetic study on CO2 hydrates formation as well as self-preservation are conducted in a stirred tank reactor. The kinetic experiments are carried out at 2.7 MPa and 274.15 K. The induction time, initial gas consumption rate, half-completion time t50, semi completion time t95 are measured to evaluate the effect of COOH-MWCNT. Furthermore, the dissociation rate was calculated to assess the impact of COOH-MWCNT on self-preservation at 271.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The results are compared with that of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The study of CO2 hydrates formation kinetic shows that the induction time is not affected by COOH-MWCNT. The impact of nanofluid is more pronounced during the hydrate growth. The initial formation rate is the highest at 0.01 wt% of COOH-MWCNT whereas 0.01 and 0.03 wt% shows the same and shortest t50. However, t95 found to be decreased with increasing the concentration. The effect of COOH-MWCNT is attributed to the strong functional group. Self-preservation results shows CO2 hydrates are less stable in the presence of COOH-MWCNT. The result of this work may provide significant finding that can be used to developed kinetic gas hydrate promoter based on nanofluid that work better than SDS to eliminate gas hydrate formation in oil and gas pipeline.

In this work, a gas hydrate formation and dissociation study was performed on two multiphase pipeline systems containing gasoline, CO2, water, and crude oil, CO2, water, in the pressure range of 2.5–3.5 MPa with fixed water cut as 15% using gas hydrate rocking cell equipment. The system has 10, 15 and 20 wt.% concentrations of gasoline and crude oil, respectively. From the obtained hydrate-liquid-vapor-equilibrium (HLVE) data, the phase diagrams for the system are constructed and analyzed to represent the phase behavior in the multiphase pipelines. Similarly, induction time and rate of gas hydrate formation studies were performed for gasoline, CO2, and water, and crude oil, CO2, water system. From the evaluation of phase behavior based on the HLVE curve, the multiphase system with gasoline exhibits an inhibition in gas hydrates formation, as the HLVE curve shifts towards the lower temperature and higher-pressure region. The multiphase system containing the crude oil system shows a promotion of gas hydrates formation, as the HLVE curve shifted towards the higher temperature and lower pressure. Similarly, the kinetics of hydrate formation of gas hydrates in the gasoline system is slow. At the same time, crude oil has a rapid gas hydrate formation rate.

In this study, the kinetics of flue gas hydrate formation in bulk water in the presence of selected amino acids and surfactants are investigated. Four amino acids (3000 ppm) are selected based on different hydropathy index. Constant-ramping and isothermal experiments at 120 bar pressure and 1 °C temperature are carried out to compare their hydrate promotion capabilities with surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (500–3000 ppm) and water. Based on experimental results, we report the correlation between hydrate promotion capability of amino acids and their hydrophobicity. Hydrophobic amino acids show stronger flue gas hydrate promotion capability than water and hydrophilic amino acids. We discuss the controlling mechanisms to differentiate between promoters and inhibitors’ roles among the amino acids. Between 2000–3000 ppm concentrations, hydrophobic amino acids have near similar promotion capabilities as SDS. This research highlights the potential use of amino acids as promoters or inhibitors for various applications.

This paper presents the results of a study on the influence of pressure and temperature of the gas–water medium on the process of hydrocarbon gas hydrate formation occurring at the phase interface. Herein, a mathematical model is proposed to determine the optimum ratios of pressure, gas temperatures, water, and gas bubble sizes in the bubbling, gas ejection, or mixing processes. As a result of our work, we determined that gas hydrate in these processes is formed at the gas–water interface, that is, on the boundary surface of gas bubbles. Moreover, there is a gas temperature range where the hydrate formation rate reaches its maximum. These study findings can be used to optimize various technological processes associated with the production of gas hydrates in the industry.
