چکیده

hydrates are crystalline compounds similar to ice, with guest molecules like methane and ethane trapped inside cavities or cages formed by the hydrogen bounded framework of water molecules. these solid compounds give rise to problems in the natural gas oil industry because they can plug pipelines and process equipments. low dosage hydrate inhibitors are a recently developed hydrate control technology, which can be more cost-effective than traditional practices such as methanol and glycols. the main objective of the present work is to experimentally investigate simple gas hydrate formation with or without the presence of kinetic inhibitors in a flow mini-loop apparatus.  for this purpose, a laboratory flow mini-loop apparatus was set up to measure the induction time and gas consumption rate during gas hydrate formation when a hydrate forming substance such as methane, ethane, propane, carbon dioxide and  iso- butane is contacted with water in the absence or presence of dissolved inhibitor at various concentration under suitable temperature and pressure conditions. in each experiment, a water blend saturated with pure gas is circulated up to a required pressure. pressure is maintained at a constant value during experimental runs by means of the required gas make-up. the effect of pressure on gas consumption during hydrate formation is investigated with or without the presence of pvp (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and l-tyrosine as kinetic inhibitors at various concentrations. the experimental results show that increasing the pressure of the system, causes to increase the experimental gas consumption and decrease the induction time. also, the extent of gas hydrate formation at a given time is clearly less in the presence of the inhibitors. moreover, when comparing the gas consumption during the hydrate formation for simple gas hydrate formation in presence of pvp and l-tyrosine inhibitors, it is seen that the gas consumption in presence of l-tyrosine is lower than that of pvp for all experiments.

the effectiveness of strategy-based instruction in teaching english as a second or foreign language: a meta-analysis of experimental studies

a large number of single research studies on the effects of strategy-based instruction (sbi) in teaching english as a foreign or second language has been conducted so far. however, the lack of a comprehensive meta-analysis targeting the effectiveness of english language sbi is observed. moreover, the findings of experimental studies regarding the context of the english language, proficiency lev...

Investigation of the Hydrate Formation Equilibrium Conditions of Natural Gas

One of the main problems in oil recovery via the gas injection is the formation of hydrates in thelines. In order to prevent the formation of hydrate in these lines, which leads to the blockage andsometimes explosion, at first, the equilibrium formation conditions must be determined and then toprevent its formation by changing the thermodynamic conditions or by adding the inhibitors. In thisres...

Measurement of Mass Transfer Coefficients of Natural Gas Mixture during Gas Hydrate Formation

In this study, mass transfer coefficients (MTC’s) of natural gas components during hydrate formation are reported. This work is based on the assumption that the transport of gas molecules from gas phase to aqueous phase is dominant among other resistances. Several experiments were conducted on a mixture of natural gas at different pressures and temperatures and the consumed gas was monitored an...
