Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for achieving synergistic effect for improving thermodynamic stability of gas hydrates by using organic mixture as hybrid promoter. The hybrid promoter according to embodiments of the present disclosure can significantly reduce the energy required for the overall processes of CH4 hydrate formation, storage, and transportation, thereby enabling an energy-efficient process.
Claims10
A hybrid promoter, comprising:
- a first promoter;
- and
- a second promoter different from the first promoter,
- wherein the first promoter is cycloheptanone or cyclooctanone, and
- the hybrid promoter provides greater thermodynamic stability to a gas hydrate than either the first promoter or the second promoter used alone.
2 more elements
An sH-type thermodynamic promoter for clathrate hydrates,
- wherein the sH-type thermodynamic promoter is cyclooctanone.
