The impact of mono-ethylene glycol and kinetic inhibitors on methane hydrate formation

W. S. Vincent Lim et al.

Summary: The study shows that in under-dosed MEG systems, MEG does not significantly affect the probability of hydrate formation, nor does it have a noticeable impact on the nucleation rate and distribution of hydrate formation. Additionally, a low-dosage kinetic hydrate inhibitor can be used together with MEG to further inhibit hydrate formation.

Molecular dynamics simulation to explore the synergistic inhibition effect of kinetic and thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors

Zhi Li et al.

Summary: The synergistic mechanism of KHIs and THIs in preventing methane hydrate formation involves three stages, with gas adsorption playing a dominant role. The addition of THIs to solutions containing KHIs enhances methane attraction and weakens the driving force for hydrate formation. It is suggested that the methane adsorption capacity of hybrid inhibitors should be considered in future development.

Radhakanta Ghosh et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the addition of alkyl amine oxide synergists can enhance the performance of PNIPMAm as a kinetic hydrate inhibitor. However, overdosing the polymer or synergist in the blends can worsen the inhibitor's performance, possibly due to unwanted interaction between the two chemicals.

Urea as a green thermodynamic inhibitor of sII gas hydrates

Yinghua Gong et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigates urea as a promising and green gas hydrate inhibitor. Urea was found to decrease the equilibrium temperature of hydrates formation, acting as a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor. Despite having medium anti-hydrate activity, urea is considered safer for the environment and more cost-effective compared to other compounds. Its application is justified if only a slight shift in the hydrate equilibrium curve is required.

Dimethyl sulfoxide as a novel thermodynamic inhibitor of carbon dioxide hydrate formation

Anton P. Semenov et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the potential of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an inhibitor of gas hydrates. Equilibrium conditions of CO2 hydrates were measured at different temperatures and DMSO concentrations, revealing that DMSO reduces the thermodynamic stability of CO2 hydrate and exhibits stronger inhibition activity in water solution compared to lower alcohols. The study also demonstrates the thermodynamic coherence of the new hydrate equilibrium data and identifies the presence of sI hydrate, crystalline ice Ih, and solid CO2 phases. Overall, DMSO can be considered an effective thermodynamic inhibitor for CO2 hydrate formation, surpassing the activity of alcohol THIs within a specific range.

Double Life of Methanol: Experimental Studies and Nonequilibrium Molecular-Dynamics Simulation of Methanol Effects on Methane-Hydrate Nucleation

Marco Lauricella et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the effect of methanol concentration on methane-hydrate nucleation. It is found that low concentrations of methanol promote nucleation, while higher concentrations inhibit nucleation. The incorporation of methanol in the lattice suppresses hydrate growth, resulting in the formation of defects and increasing the energy of the nucleus. On the other hand, at low concentrations, the detrimental effect of defects is outweighed by the beneficial contribution of CH3 in facilitating methane incorporation.

Analysis of the Techniques for Measuring the Equilibrium Conditions of Gas Hydrates Formation

A. P. Semenov et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the factors influencing the determination of gas hydrates phase equilibria conditions using stepwise heating and constant-rate heating procedures. The results showed that using the GHA350 autoclave can provide more reliable results compared to the RCS6 rocking cells. The stepwise heating method is more reliable but time-consuming, while the constant-rate heating method can significantly reduce the measurement time. The choice of heating rate should be consistent with the mixing efficiency and other factors. For most systems, the results of both methods are consistent within the experimental error limits, except for gas hydrates in concentrated salt solutions with high viscosity at low temperatures.

Extracting nucleation rates from ramped temperature measurements of gas hydrate formation

Mark T. J. Barwood et al.

Summary: The formation of solids in the energy industry poses risks to the safety and reliability of operational facilities. A new method for extracting nucleation rates from constant cooling experiments is presented, and methane hydrate formation probability is analyzed based on temperature ramp rates. The results indicate that increasing subcooling leads to more heterogeneous nucleation sites with higher energy barriers.

High-resolution performance tests of nucleation and growth suppression by two kinetic hydrate inhibitors

Mark T. J. Barwood et al.

Summary: The development of performance rankings for kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) is crucial for their implementation in risk-based hydrate management strategies. Rigorous comparisons between two industrial KHIs revealed that performance rankings may be subcooling dependent and that growth rate alone is insufficient for accurate screening. Application of a Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT) based model indicated significant differences in nucleation site numbers and nucleation work required between systems dosed with different inhibitors. Combining these measurements with gamma distributions and fluid residence times can help inform operational risk assessment of hydrate blockages.
