HYDRATE PARTICLES ADHESION FORCE MEASUREMENTS: EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE, LOW DOSAGE INHIBITORS, AND INTERFACIAL ENERGY

Taylor, Craig J., Dieker, Laura E., Miller, Kelly T., Koh, Carolyn A., Sloan, E. Dendy 07 1900 (has links)
Micromechanical adhesion force measurements were performed on tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate particles in n-decane. The experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure over the temperature range 261–275 K. A scoping study characterized the effects of temperature, anti-agglomerants, and interfacial energy on the particle adhesion forces. The adhesion force between hydrate particles was found to increase with temperature and the interfacial energy of the surrounding liquid. The adhesion force of hydrates was directly proportional to the contact time and contact force. Both sorbitan monolaurate (Span20) and poly-N-vinyl caprolactam (PVCap) decreased the adhesion force between the hydrate particles. The measured forces and trends were explained by a capillary bridge between the particles.
