APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING NATURAL GAS HYDRATE AND A METHOD FOR THE SAME CAPABLE OF GENERATING NATURAL GAS HYDRATE SLURRY WITH LOW HYDRATE FRACTION USING THE LATENT HEAT OF ICE SLURRY

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for manufacturing natural gas hydrate and a method for the same are provided to continuously manufacture plenty of natural gas hydrate by removing heat of formation.;CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for manufacturing natural gas hydrate includes an ice slurry generating unit(14), a first conduit(20), a hydrate manufacturing reactor(22), a second conduit(24), and a dehydrating unit(26). The ice slurry generating unit manufactures ice slurry with ice fraction of 13-20%. One end of the first conduit is in connection with the ice slurry generating unit for the ice slurry to be discharged from the ice slurry generating unit. A boosting pump(18) is interposed in the first conduit. The hydrate manufacturing reactor is in connection with another end of the first conduit and receives boosted ice slurry and natural gas to be mixed to generate natural gas hydrate slurry. The second conduit is in connection with the hydrate manufacturing reactor to discharge natural gas hydrate slurry. The dehydrating unit is in connection with another end of the second conduit and dehydrates the natural gas hydrate slurry.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
