A New Additive Kinetics Model of Natural Gas Hydrate

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper developed the new compound accelerator contains liquid hydrocarbons and surfactants, using the hydrate generator to experiment. On the basis of the researches on the generating conditions, mechanism of gas hydrate and experimental phenomena, the new kinetics model considering the compound accelerator affecting is built. A program which can compute the model is designed by Visual B compiler language. The induction time in the conditions of different pressures, different solutions and different gases is respectively calculated. The calculation is good agreement with the experimental data and the theory, we obtained that the calculated data are validated. The results show that the model can express completely the process of NGH formation, and provide the theory and model for its industry application.
