ABSTRACT:
Gas hydrate growth was simulated in an agitated three-phase slurry reactor using a dynamic model that incorporates hydrate formation kinetics as well as system hydrodynamics and interphase heat and mass transfer rates. Supersaturation ratios and mole consumption rates were evaluated as a function of time for different gas and liquid superficial velocities. Based on available data and the conditions investigated, the kinetic resistance was found to be more influential than the resistance to gas-liquid mass transfer.
