Study on fluidizing the highly converted methane hydrate for gas storage and transportation

Fluidizing highly converted hydrate particles is a potential way for continuously producing gas hydrate in gas storage application. However, the fundamental problem is to prevent hydrate agglomeration while keeping a high formation rate. In this study, water–oil systems were used to investigate the feasibility of fluidizing the methane hydrate with fast formation rate. The formation kinetics and the slurry morphology of methane hydrate were...
