DECOMPOSITION UNIT FOR NATURAL GAS HYDRATE AND BASE FOR FEEDING NATURAL GAS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the stable supply of natural gas by dissolving the retardation of the decomposition of gas hydrate caused by the self-preservation of the gas hydrate. ;SOLUTION: The objective natural gas hydrate decomposition unit is equipped with a treatment vessel 1 that contains the gas hydrate and decomposes the hydrate, a heating medium feeder that feeds warm water into the treatment vessel 1 and heats the gas hydrate, a crushing means that crushes an ice-coating layer formed on the surfaces of the hydrate particles and an exhaustion means that exhausts the warm water, and the natural gas is gasified by heating with the warm water from the treatment vessel 1.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
