The Influence of Plant Extract on the Phase Equilibrium of Structure I Gas Hydrate in a Simulated Offshore Environment

Gas hydrate inhibitors, especially those used in offshore environments, are chemicals. These chemicals synthetic nature and pose both technical environmental risks. This study emphasizes the influence of a Plant Extract (PE) on phase behavior equilibrium structure I (SI) gas its inhibition efficiency. The PE was screened using mini flow loop. From pressure-temperature diagram, various weight percentages were able to disrupt thermodynamic conditions water molecules lower temperatures increase pressures, which caused shift curve an unstable formation zone. pressure versus time plot as well efficiency plots for Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) evaluated. Overall, higher than that MEG 1 wt% (60.53%) 2 (55.26%) but had same at 3 (73.68%). greatest effect adjudged optimum percent with well-regulated curve. shows is better inhibitor MEG, toxic human aquatic life; therefore, it recommended field trials.
