PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrate post-treatment apparatus which gives a hydrate particle having high uniformity and an optimum particle size, and a hydrate particle size-controlling method. SOLUTION: The hydrate post-treatment apparatus is equipped with a fluidized bed reactor 302, a hydrate particle size-measuring means, and a hydrate particle size-controlling means 350 which controls the hydrate particle size by controlling the temperature of a hydrate-forming gas to be introduced into the fluidized bed reactor and the temperature inside the fluidized bed reactor based on the hydrate particle size obtained by the hydrate particle size-measuring means, where in the hydrate particle size-controlling means, at least one of the temperature of the hydrate-forming gas and the temperature inside the fluidized bed reactor is caused to be high when the hydrate particle size obtained by the hydrate particle size-measuring means is smaller than that within a specified range while caused to be low when the hydrate particle size is larger than that within the specified range. The hydrate particle size-controlling method is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
