METHODS OF PRODUCTION AND REGASIFICATION AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION AND REGASIFICATION OF GAS HYDRATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods of production and regasification and an apparatus for production and regasification of gas hydrate, each employing a totally new approach, enabling easy slurry transportation of gas hydrate and requiring no physical dehydrator, dehydration apparatus, etc. such as a gravity dehydration type gas-liquid separator or a screw press type dehydration apparatus.;SOLUTION: Raw material gas (g) and raw material water (w) are subjected to a hydration reaction in a first generator 1 to produce the gas hydrate slurry (s). The gas hydrate slurry (s) is transported to a second generator 2 through slurry transportation, and the raw material gas (g) is fed to the second generator 2 while stirring the gas hydrate slurry (s) therein to perform hydration reaction of a slurry mother liquor of the gas hydrate slurry (s) and the raw material gas (g). The slurry mother liquor of the gas hydrate slurry (s) is substantially removed by the hydration reaction.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
