(Green Energy and Technology) 1st ed. 2020 Edition
by Bhajan Lal (Author), Omar Nashed (Author)
This book offers a
straightforward, informative guide to the chemicals used for gas hydrate
formation and inhibition, providing the reader with the latest
information on the definition, structure, formation conditions,
problems, and applications of gas hydrates.
The authors review
not only the inhibitors used to prevent or mitigate hydrate formation,
but also the conditions under which it is necessary to form hydrates
quickly, which require the use of promoters. Various promoters are
discussed, including their specifications, functions, advantages and
disadvantages. The possibility of using natural reservoirs of gas
hydrate as an energy source is also considered.
Lastly, due to
the difficulty of conducting experiments that reflect all conditions and
concentrations, the book presents a number of models that can predict
the basic parameters in the presence of the chemicals. Given its scope,
the book will be of interest to professionals working in this field in
an industrial context, as well as to researchers, undergraduate and
graduate students of chemical engineering.
