APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS FORMATION OF GAS HYDRATE

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing gas hydrate continuously and a method for manufacturing gas hydrate continuously, wherein the apparatus desorbs hydrate generated by heating the surface of metal instantly after forming the high-concentration gas hydrate by spraying a feed hydrate solution and a surfactant solution on the surface of the metal installed in a reactor. The apparatus for manufacturing gas hydrate continuously according to the present invention, which includes a reactor for forming hydrate, comprises a first valve connected to a feed hydrate solution tank for storing the feed hydrate solution and controlled on/off to supply the feed hydrate solution to the reactor; a second valve connected to a surfactant solution tank for storing the surfactant solution and controlled on/off to supply the surfactant solution to the reactor; and a reactor including a plurality of formation parts for forming hydrate using the feed hydrate solution and the surfactant solution sprayed in a hydration formation region through the first valve and the second valve. According to the apparatus for manufacturing gas hydrate continuously and the method for manufacturing gas hydrate continuously, a step for forming gas hydrate slurry and a dehydration step can be omitted by manufacturing high-concentration gas hydrate using a small amount of a surfactant.
