The Effect of Pressure Disturbance on the Formation Process of Propane Hydrate

In order to speed up the formation process of gas hydrate, we investigated the effect of pressure disturbance in the static formation process of propane hydrate in visual reaction cell. The results indicate that, compared with the process of no pressure disturbance, pressure disturbance could promote the formation process of propane hydrate effectively in 100 hours of the experimental process, improving the growth rate of propane hydrate. The average growth rate of propane hydrate reached the degree of 0.0526mm/h, it is 4 times as great as that of no pressure disturbance.
