Experimental study on gas hydrate formation from natural gas mixture

In this work, gas consumption by clathrate hydrate from mixture of natural gas at different pressures and temperatures (275.15–287.25 K and 1.1–5.4 MPa) are reported. The experiments were conducted in a stirred-reactor tank in isothermal and isochoric conditions. The amount of consumed gas by the hydrate phase was determined considering the pressure reduction during the experiments. Results show the rate of gas consumption is exponentially related to the over-pressurizing of the system.
