A. Lund et al., INHIBITION OF GAS HYDRATE FORMATION BY MEANS OF CHEMICAL ADDITIVES .2. AN EVALUATION OF THE SCREENING METHOD, Chemical Engineering Science, 51(13), 1996, pp. 3449-3458
A given hydrocarbon gas-water-model oil system, used as a reference sy
stem for testing of new hydrate inhibitors, has been evaluated for exp
erimental reproducibility of hydrate formation and behavior at flow co
nditions. The system was remixed five times in a 2 '' ID high-pressure
flow loop and tested for the reproducibility both within one mixture
(closed system) and between the remixtures. The results indicated good
reproducibility both within the closed system and between the remixtu
