PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress lowering of fluidity resulting from increase in the concentration of gas hydrate slurry. SOLUTION: In a handling apparatus (2) for gas hydrate for forming gas hydrate 49 of high concentration by concentrating or dehydrating gas hydrate slurry 39 formed by a reaction of a raw material gas with water, a water-repelling membrane is formed on the face (33, 35, 37) coming into contact with gas hydrate to reduce friction between gas hydrate and the contact surface. Thus, lowering of fluidity of gas hydrate slurry resulting from lowering of a water content is suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
