Experimental Investigation of Effect on Hydrate Formation in Spray Reactor

The effects of reaction condition on hydrate formation were conducted in spray reactor. the temperature,pressure,and gas volume of reaction on hydrate formation were measured in pure water and sds solutions at different temperature and pressure with a high-pressure experimental rig for hydrate formation. the experimental data and result reveal that additives could improve the hydrate formation rate and gas storage capacity. temperature and pressure can restrict the hydrate formation. lower temperature and higher pressure can promote hydrate formation,but they can increase production cost. so these factors should be considered synthetically. the investigation will promote the advance of gas storage technology in hydrates. © 2015 jianzhong zhao et al.
