Synergistic kinetic inhibition of natural gas hydrate formation

► Rocking cells allow us to get more reliable statistical data about hydrate inhibition. ► Luvicap lowered the nucleation temperature and delayed the nucleation time. ► PEO enhanced the nucleation inhibition strength of Luvicap. ► NaCl reduced the hydrate growth significantly. ► Hydrate formed in the presence of inhibitor took longer time to decompose completely.
