Аннотация

The effect of 2-butoxyethanol as an additive on simple gas hydrate formation in the presence of kinetic hydrate inhibitors such as modified starch, polyvinylcaprolactam, and Gaffix VC-713 under various conditions in a flow mini-loop apparatus has been studied. A laboratory flow mini-loop apparatus has been designed and manufactured to measure the induction time of simple gas hydrate formation. Hydrate formers (such as C1, C2, C3, i-C4, and CO2) are contacted with water containing dissolved inhibitor in the presence of 2-butoxyethanol as an additive at desired temperature and pressure. The effect of 2-butoxyethanol on the induction time during gas hydrate formation was investigated in the presence and absence of modified starch, polyvinylcaprolactam, and Gaffix VC-713 as kinetic inhibitors. Results show that the induction time is prolonged in the presence of Gaffix VC-713 compared to polyvinylcaprolactam and modified starch as inhibitors. Moreover, the induction time in the presence of 2-butoxyethanol is greater than in the absence of this additive for simple gas hydrate formation. As a result, the performance of kinetic hydrate inhibitors was enhanced in the presence of 2-butoxyethanol for natural gas components during gas hydrate formation.
