Abstract

Naturally occurring gas hydrates are of great importance as a strategic energy source. Hydrates affect coastal sediment stability, global climate change, and ocean carbon cycling. It is vital to understand the thermodynamic conditions of gas hydrates to control/manage and inhibit hydrate formation. A variety of equations of state (EOSs) have been utilized to model the thermodynamic behaviors of gas hydrates. In this study, the perturbed chain statistical association fluid theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state combined with van der Waals and Platteuw model is employed to determine the clathrate hydrate formation temperature of pure gases (e.g., methane, ethane, propane, isobutane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide) and binary and ternary systems of hydrate gases. In addition, the gas hydrate formation conditions are investigated where methanol, ethanol, glycerol, NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2 as inhibitors are present. The UNIQUAC model is utilized in this work to obtain the hydrate formation conditions in s...
