METHOD FOR PREVENTING WATER LINE IN HYDRATE SLURRY, METHOD FOR DISCHARGING HYDRATE SLURRY, AND STORAGE TANK

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage method of liquid and hydrate slurry and storage tanks of liquid and hydrate slurry, capable of smoothly discharging the hydrate slurry while preventing the melt of the hydrate slurry. PSOLUTION: In this method, a liquid tank 1 for storing liquid 102 and a slurry tank 3 for storing hydrate slurry 105 are separately provided, the liquid tank 1 including a liquid receiving port 19 and an outlet port 21 and the slurry tank 3 including a slurry receiving port 23 and an outlet port 24. By this, the contact of the liquid 102 with the hydrate slurry 105 can be prevented to prevent the melt of the hydrate slurry 105 with the liquid 102. Further, this method does not cause a trouble such that the formation of a water line caused by a difference in viscosity between the both makes the discharge of the hydrate slurry difficult as in the case that the both are stored in the same tank.
