Abstract: A pellet manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a reactor part for producing and discharging either gas hydrate slurry or ice slurry; a pellet forming part which is provided at one side of the outer portion of the reactor part, and which compresses the slurry discharged from the reactor part, so as to form the same into a pellet shape; and a control part for controlling the operation of the reactor part and the pellet forming part, wherein the control part controls the operation of a heating module so that the internal temperature of a first pipe is adjusted to be within a predetermined temperature range when the pellets are formed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus comprising a reactor body to which gas and water are supplied to create a gas hydrate; an upper cover which is engaged to an upper portion of the reactor body, a scraper mounted rotationally within the reactor body, and a motor for providing a driving force to the scraper. It is possible to remove gas hydrate particles attached to at least one of an inner surface of the reactor body and an inner surface of the upper cover, by a rotary driving of the scraper. According to the invention, it is possible to prevent a material hindering a heat transfer by attaching on a wall surface of the reactor, through a process of scraping out gas hydrate particles, when the scraper which is rotationally driven about a center axis of the reactor is close to the inner surface of the reactor.

Abstract: A hydrate production apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a main body unit having a reaction space in which a hydrate is produced therein; an inlet pipe unit connected to one side of the main body unit so as to introduce, into the reaction space, a host material and a guest material for producing the hydrate; an outlet pipe unit connected to the other side of the main body unit so as to discharge the hydrate produced in the reaction space to the outside; and a pulverizing device unit provided inside the reaction space so as to increase a reaction area for producing the hydrate by pulverizing, into fine-sized particles, an object to be pulverized, which is at least one of the introduced host material and guest material.

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: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for continuously producing and dehydrating gas hydrates. The apparatus includes a gas source, a water source, a reactor, a spinning wheel, and a centrifugal separator. The gas source and the water source are connected to the reactor. Gas and water are respectively supplied from the gas source and the water source into the reactor and react with each other in the reactor to form gas hydrate slurry. The spinning wheel and the centrifugal separator are provided in the reactor. The spinning wheel supplies the formed gas hydrate slurry to the centrifugal separator. The centrifugal separator dehydrates the gas hydrate slurry. Water removed from the gas hydrate slurry by the dehydration of the centrifugal separator is re-supplied into the reactor.
