Abstract:

In this study, the performance of 1-(2-Hydroxyethyle) 3-methylimidazolium chloride [OH-EMIM][Cl] and 1-(2-Hydroxyethyle) 3-methylimidazolium bromide [OH-EMIM][Br] was investigated as thermodynamic gas hydrate inhibitors. The dissociation temperature was determined for methane gas hydrates using a high pressure micro deferential scanning calorimeter at a pressure range of 36-97 bar. Both ionic liquids (ILs) were studied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt% then their performance was compared with commercially available inhibitors. It was observed that both ILs shift the methane hydrate equilibrium curve to lower temperature and higher pressure; and the performance of [OH-EMIM][Cl] is better than [OH-EMIM][Br]. Nevertheless both of them were found to be less effective compared to methanol and mono ethylene glycol.
