Flow characteristics and morphology of hydrate slurry formed from (natural gas+diesel oil/condensate oil+water) system containing anti-agglomerant

▸ A new kind of anti-agglomerant was adopted to prevent hydrate and wax plugging. ▸ The hydrate slurry is a dispersion system rather than an emulsion. ▸ The morphology of hydrate slurry can be kept at subcooling of 26 K. ▸ Hydrate slurry exhibits shear-thinning behavior and belongs to pseudoplastic fluid. ▸ Non-Newtonian behavior becomes obvious with increasing hydrate volume fraction.
