Abstract
A theoretical model is proposed for washing gas out of a hydrate by means of warm water in a continuous countercurrent vertical tubular reactor. It is shown that an increase in pressure from 2 to 5 MPa leads to an increase in the height of the reactor by approximately 5–7%. It is found that the height of the reactor varies in the interval of 1.5–18 m with a change in the initial radius of hydrate particles in the range of 0.01–0.05 cm. It is shown that the height of the reactor decreases by more than 20% with a change in the initial temperature of injected water from 300 to 320 K and it decreases by approximately 80% with an increase in the radius of the reactor from 1 to 5 m. An increase in the mass flow rate of the hydrate by 30% leads to an increase in the height of the plant by 20%.
