Simulation of CO2 storage and methane gas production from gas hydrates in a large scale laboratory reactor

摘要

This paper focuses on methane recovery from gas hydrates and the thermal assisted CH4-CO2 replacement in the hydrate phase. The experimental investigation was carried out in a 60 L reactor, in which the CH4 hydrates were formed with different saturations of the matrix (10%, 30% and 50%) and subsequently dissociated by supplying heat and a simultaneous CO2 stream.
