New Anti-agglomerants : Effect of Coconut Oil Amide Propyl Betaine on
Hydrate Agglomeration
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to explore the effect of new
anti-aggregation agent ( coconut oil amide propyl betaine ) on the flow
stability of oil-water emulsion system under different water content and
flow rate conditions, and confirm that the new anti-aggregation agent
under high water content and even pure water conditions can still play
an anti-coagulation role, so that hydrates can form stable and mobile
mud. In addition, in order to explore the parameter changes in the
system caused by the transient changes ( shutdown and start ) in the
flow system and the flow characteristics of hydrate in the non-flat
pipeline, the flow characteristics of hydrate slurry with inclined pipe
section are explored, and the changes in the flow characteristics of
hydrate with shutdown and restart in the actual production process are
explored by stopping and restarting the equipment.
