Clathrate hydrate

The occurrence of large natural clathrate hydrate deposits on the oceanic sea floors and the possibility that these gas hydrates could be mined as an energy source of hydrocarbon gas or used to sequester CO2 gas are still attracting considerable interest. Gas hydrates form clathrate structures consisting of hydrocarbon molecules within "cages" of water molecules. There are two clathrates of practical interest, the sI and sII structures. The sII structure can accommodate propane molecules, which

platforms in the gulf to land to be produced, you will run across the phrase, “flow assurance.” Flow assurance is what makes sure these oils and gases get from point A to point B without any hesitations or problems. Its main purpose is to prevent hydrates, clogged pipes, and wax depositions. So can the oilfield industry survive without flow assurance, especially in deep water operations? By reading this, you will learn how important flow assurance is in this industry, and what serious problems can

on the depth of the well. Because of the low temperatures the fluid within the wells may have issues flowing. Some issues could be hydrate, scale, corrosion, and asphaltenes. The best way to combat these issues is to install chemical injections. Chemical injection pumps such as a low dose hydrate inhibitor (LDHI) could be used to prevent complications caused by hydrate. Corrosion inhibitors can also be used when wells have experienced corrosion that may have occurred due to water. Corrosion inhibitors

Third paragraph: Cost of the items and it as a whole. Fourth paragraph: How’s it's used in modern times and the value of it.  Abstract Electrophoresis is the separation of proteins by the electric sequence. Electrophoresis has older and now a new technology. Gel electrophoresis is the older form, while

Throughout the history of human development, almost every process brings benefits as well as drawbacks, and social development is no exception. Residing in an efficient society, balancing environment protection and social development can be quite a dilemma. As Anna Quindlen says in the book , Our Animal Rites, “You can’t stop progress, especially if it’s traveling 65 miles an hour.” people cannot put off social development. At the same time, the earth is where humans are living and deserves more

Methane hydrates, also known as Methane clathrates, are rapidly becoming a topic of interest to many looking for alternative energy sources that would ease our reliance on fossil fuels while scientists are working on innovative new ways to extract the energy with minimal damage to the climate. These natural gas deposits resting under ocean sediment appear very alluring to governments and other entities looking for more energy independence. Nations look at energy independence favorably as a way to

nations such as Japan, methane could the key element in developing national energy independence. Methane in the form of methane hydrate, a crystalline form of natural gas found at the bottom of oceans and in the Arctic permafrost, will within the next twenty years reshape the global geopolitical landscape of energy. At room temperature, a solid chunk of methane hydrate can be lit with a single match and produce intense heat. Colloquially known as "fire ice", there is an estimated 20 quadrillion

Title: Designing and Performing a Procedure Used to Determine the Percent of Water in a Hydrate Objective: To determine the chemical formula for the “Mystery Hydrate” Problem: Determining the formula for the “Mystery Hydrate” Variables: Independent Variable (IV) What percent water is the Mystery Hydrate Dependent Variable (DV) The amount of hydrate left after heating Introduction “Hydrates are substances that include water in their formula. The water is not actually part of the chemical

characteristics of hydrates. Hydrates are solid ionic compounds that contain water that is chemically bound to the crystal. In doing this lab, the percentage of water contained in various hydrates, if dehydration is a reversible or irreversible change, and the mathematical relationship between starting mass and mass lost. As there is no simple way to predict the amount of water molecules in a hydrated compound, it must be determined by experimenting. This experiment involves heating said hydrates so the water

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Caseyville, IL) Hydraway announces the successful installation of a new synthetic field drainage system at the St. Louis Rams practice field located in Maryland Heights, Missouri. The product used during this installation was the Hydraway 2000, 12", as the head coach wish to have a synthetic field made using a sand base. This was to allow the team to return to the use of natural Bermuda grass at a later date, if desired. "Hydraway understands the pressure facility managers
