GAS HYDRATE RECOVERY APPARATUS AND GAS HYDRATE RECOVERY METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas hydrate recovery apparatus capable of efficiently recover gas hydrates, and a gas hydrate recovery method.;SOLUTION: A bulk gas hydrate m and a sediment are supplied into a gasification tank 5 together with water at a water bottom 2, so as to separate the bulk gas hydrate m from the sediment due to the difference in specific gravity. A gas g inside the gasification tank 5 is taken out for recovery. While the sediment is discharged to the outside through an outlet 12 disposed in the gasification tank 5, water is injected from the vicinity of the outlet 12 toward the internal part of the gasification tank 5 such that the sediment deposited in the vicinity of the outlet 12 is removed.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2;COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT
