Abstract:
A method for producing a gas hydrate by reacting a plurality of guest gases and water, according to the present invention, is characterized by the solubility of a first guest gas in water which is higher than the solubility of a second guest gas in water, and the pressure for producing a gas hydrate of the second gas is lower than the pressure for producing a gas hydrate of the first gas. Existing methods for producing gas hydrates lowered economic feasibility and productivity by reacting a single guest gas with water, but the present invention overcomes these problems thereby improving hydrate production efficiency while facilitating gas hydrate production at a lower pressure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus comprising a reactor body to which gas and water are supplied to create a gas hydrate; an upper cover which is engaged to an upper portion of the reactor body, a scraper mounted rotationally within the reactor body, and a motor for providing a driving force to the scraper. It is possible to remove gas hydrate particles attached to at least one of an inner surface of the reactor body and an inner surface of the upper cover, by a rotary driving of the scraper. According to the invention, it is possible to prevent a material hindering a heat transfer by attaching on a wall surface of the reactor, through a process of scraping out gas hydrate particles, when the scraper which is rotationally driven about a center axis of the reactor is close to the inner surface of the reactor.
