Comparative Analysis of Gas Hydrate Chemical Inhibitors

ABSTRACT

Natural gas hydrate formation prevention by injection of chemical inhibitors of different weight percentages was investigated. The chemical inhibitors investigated in this study are methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol of different weight percentages of 10%, 20%, 25% and 40%. Natural gas hydrate formation was mitigated against by these chemical inhibitors by reducing hydrate formation temperature due to its high value of depression temperature. Methanol gives the least hydrate formation temperature among the chemical inhibitors with a deviation of 95% compare with hydrate formation temperature without inhibitor.
