Performance of natural gas hydrate production process in a batch reactor with water spraying

Considering the water spraying can effectively increase the contact area between gas and water and promote the hydrate production rate, a batch reactor with water spraying was built in order to experimentally investigate the forming performance of natural gas hydrate, the system's state parameters' variation and its effect on induced time of initial pressure and water temperature. The results show that the natural gas hydrates can be produced in this way, and water spraying can effectively reduce the induced time of hydrate formation. During the reaction process, the beginning of water spraying can cause the system pressure to increase temporarily.
