Gas hydrate.https://techproces.com/ |
✅
When gas molecules are trapped in a lattice of water molecules at temperatures
above 0°C and pressures above one atmosphere, they can form a stable solid.
These solids are gas hydrates. Most gas hydrates are formed from methane (CH4).
Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon and is the primary component of NG that we
burn for energy.
✅
Hydrate formations in pipelines are dangerous and costly it leads to:-
1️⃣
slow down the flow of oil and gas through a pipeline.
2️⃣
block pipelines altogether. That means a production slow down
3️⃣
cause pressure build-ups that can end in fire and explosions.
