Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing gas hydrates by reacting a plurality of guest gases with water, wherein a first guest gas has a higher water solubility than that of a second guest gas, and the pressure of the gas hydrate formation condition of the second guest gas is lower than the pressure of the gas hydrate formation condition of the first guest gas. While the traditional gas hydrate production method, wherein a single guest gas is reacted with water, is unsatisfactory in terms of cost effectiveness and productivity, the present invention provides improved production yield of gas hydrates and enables an easy production of gas hydrates at lower pressure.

Abstract: A method for treating water using a salt desorption process of gas hydrates according to the present invention includes: (a) introducing water containing impurities and a plurality of guest gases into a reactor; (b) forming gas hydrates by causing the water and the plurality of guest gases to react under a first condition; and (c) dissociating a gas hydrate of one guest gas from among the plurality of guest gases by changing the first condition to a second condition, wherein the first condition refers to temperature and pressure conditions under which all of the plurality of guest gases form gas hydrates and the second condition refers to temperature and pressure conditions under which the gas hydrate of the one guest gas from the mixed gas hydrates is dissociated.

Abstract: An embedded measurement device that is capable of measuring the component and a composition of a multi-phase flow fluid flowing in a pipe. The embedded measurement device includes: a high-pressure pipe tube in which the multi-phase flow fluid flows; a Raman probe that is partially inserted inside the high-pressure pipe tube and has an optical lens; and a Raman peak analysis unit that is connected to another part of the Raman probe. The device for measuring the composition of the multi-phase flow fluid measures a Raman peak intensity value of the multi-phase flow fluid in the high-pressure pipe tube by using the Raman probe, thereby determining the composition of the fluid.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a gas-liquid circulating type gas hydrate reactor, includes: a reactor body configured to be supplied with gas and water to generate a gas hydrate; and a bubble generator configured to be disposed around a lower portion of the reactor body, wherein the gas supplied from the lower portion of the reactor body is jetted into the reactor body through the bubble generator. The gas-liquid circulating type gas hydrate reactor in accordance with the present invention makes it possible to jet gas at a high speed by using the bubble generator disposed at the low portion of the reactor body so as to promote the reaction of water and gas which are accommodated in the reactor body while forming a water stream at the lower portion of the reactor body that enables a smooth agitation of the water and the gas.

Abstract: A double helix gas hydrate reactor is disclosed. The reactor includes an inlet port (510) into which water and gas are supplied, an outlet port (540) disposed opposite the inlet port, a hollow jacket (580) extending from the inlet port to the outlet port, a hollow outer helix (550) installed in the hollow jacket, and an inner helix (560) installed in the outer helix. The gas and water that are supplied into the inlet port react with each other to form gas hydrate in a channel defined between the inner helix and the hollow jacket.

Abstract: A valve for preventing freeze-fracturing prevents accidental freeze-fracturing due to the freezing of water by draining water from a flow pipe before the danger of freezing occurs when the temperature of ambient air drops. The valve for preventing freeze-fracturing includes a housing coupled to a pipe port and a draining chamber provided in a portion of the housing that faces the pipe port. The draining chamber has therein a water inlet hole, which communicates with an inside of the flow pipe, and a water outlet hole, which communicates with an outside of the housing. A storage chamber is provided in a portion of the housing that is opposite the draining chamber, and contains therein a phase change material, which decreases in volume while changing in phase from liquid to solid. A plunger is movably disposed in the draining chamber to open and close the water inlet hole.
