Membranes are becoming popular for CO2 separation as an environmentally friendly, efficient technology. A comprehensive review of recent studies conducted on CO2 separation from different sources is essential for tracking ...
Experimental and DFT Approach on the Determination of Natural Gas Hydrate Equilibrium with the Use of Excess N2 and Choline Chloride Ionic Liquid as an Inhibitor
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This work presents the characterization of hydrate-forming conditions of a Qatari natural gas-type mixture, QNG-S1, obtained using two different experimental methods, namely, a benchtop reactor and a gas hydrate autoclave. ...
Development of Green Inhibitors to Prevent Hydrates Formation, Protect Environment and Reduce Energy Cost in Oil and Gas Industry
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Gas hydrates are identified as ice-liked solid, crystalline compounds having polyhedral water cavities, where gas molecules get trapped during operation under high pressure and low temperature condition. These hydrates ...
Ionic Liquids as Multi-purpose Inhibitors to avoid Natural Gas Hydrates during Gas Processing
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The issue of hydrate formation during gas processing is a challenging problem for the oil and gas industries. Billions of dollars spent annually to get rid of the blockage of pipelines due to hydrate clogging by applying ...
