Surfactant effects on methane solubility and mole fraction during hydrate growth

▸ Measure the effects of SDS on hydrate growth in a stirred tank reactor. ▸ SDS has no effect on methane solubility but increases methane mole fraction. ▸ Increases in growth rate are attributed to the increase in methane mole fraction. ▸ Other factors, such as increased particle surface area, may also increase growth.
