GAS HYDRATE PRODUCTION APPARATUS

摘要

THE INVENTION PROVIDES A GAS HYDRATE PRODUCTION APPARATUS WHICH CAN ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR AN AGITATOR IN A GENERATOR, AND AT THE SAME TIME, CAN MAKE CONSTANT THE PERCENTAGE OF GAS HYDRATION OF THE PRODUCT. A SHELL-AND-TUBE-TYPE GENERATOR 2 IS PROVIDED DOWNSTREAM OF AN EJECTOR-TYPE MIXER 1 THAT STIRS AND MIXES A RAW-MATERIAL GAS G AND A RAW-MATERIAL WATER W. IN ADDITION, PARTITION WALLS 41 TO 43 EACH CAUSING A GAS HYDRATE SLURRY TO TURN AROUND ARE PROVIDED IN EACH OF END PLATES 37 AND 38 PLACED RESPECTIVELY IN THE FRONT AND REAR ENDS OF THE GENERATOR 2. MOREOVER, A DEHYDRATOR 3 INCLUDING A CONE-SHAPED FILTER 48 IS PROVIDED DOWNSTREAM OF THE GENERATOR 2, AND A DRAINAGE PIPE 11 IS PROVIDED TO THE DEHYDRATOR 3. FURTHER, A FLOW REGULATING VALVE 12 IS PROVIDED TO THE DRAINAGE PIPE 11.
