A paper from our laboratory has been published in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journal, Chem & Bio Engineering. This research was conducted as part of flow assurance in the project of subsea methane hydrate development. The effects of various methane hydrate inhibitors were visually observed and clarified using an originally developed apparatus capable of parallel testing under high pressure.
This paper was co-authored with Konno Laboratory of the University of Tokyo and Energy Process Research Institute of AIST.
The paper is Open Access.
