Effect of Mixing in Test Section on Hydrate Synthesis via Explosive Boiling of Liquefied Hydrate-Forming Gas in Water with Addition of SDS during Decompression

The present work is part of a comprehensive study to find out effective operating parameters of gas hydrate production based on explosive boiling of liquefied hydrate-forming gas in water volume under pressure relief. Earlier results showed high effectiveness and productivity of the method under study. The paper presents a study of the effect of addition of kinetic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) on the hydrate formation method under study, as well as the influence of the intensity of mixing of the medium on the effectiveness of the hydrate formation process.
