Direct Measurements of Volumetric Gas Storage Capacity and Some New Insight into Adsorbed Natural Gas Storage

摘要

We present a unique bench scale apparatus for directly measuring volumetric gas storage capacities designed at UTRC. The apparatus construction avoids gas leakage, and the analysis of experimental data prevents leakage from inflating capacity measurements. Deliverable methane storage capacities (V_d/V_s) of adsorbents are evaluated directly from experiments with this apparatus rather than calculated from gravimetric adsorption capacities. .
