TL;DR: In this paper, a new investigation of hydrate-in-oil dispersion stability was presented, which was measured with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) apparatus.
Abstract: The stability of hydrate-in-oil dispersions is a critical parameter in assessing the risk of flowline blockage due to particle aggregation or wall deposition. Many studies of hydrate particle transportability have used deionized water to form the dispersion; however, the resulting lack of ions means that the crude oil’s natural surfactants will be less active, which does not represent production conditions. This study presents a new investigation of both hydrate-in-oil dispersion stability and water-in-oil emulsion stability, measured with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) apparatus, respectively. The results show that hydrate-in-oil dispersion stability increases directly with sodium chloride (NaCl) mass fraction in the aqueous phase; above 5 wt % NaCl, the dispersion was observed to be stable over ten hydrate formation–dissociation trials. This was comparable with the dispersion stability observed previously when an ionic surfactant was dosed at 2 w...

TL;DR: In this article, a cost-effective process and facilities for obtaining high quality drinking water and high-grade brine as a chemical raw material from raw water regardless of how much salt it contains are presented.
Abstract: The invention consists of a cost-effective process and facilities for obtaining high quality drinking water and high-grade brine as a chemical raw material from raw water regardless of how much salt it contains. When combined with a thermal power-generation process, the plant also produces electric power with a fuel utilization of over 85%. The applied evaporation process using waste heat works with a water vapor-saturated air circulation across a range of temperatures with recuperative preheating of the salt water. Plants like this can consist of a large number of evaporation modules and thus be adjusted according to any demand of high quality drinking water. The evaporation modules work at up to 4 system pressure levels and can use the waste heat of the higher system pressure levels in the subsequent system pressure levels. Heat consumption values of less than 10 kWh per m 3 of drinking water can thus be achieved. The modular design and the use of commercially available gas turbines/generator sets are allowing a performance range from 3.0 m 3 to 1000 m 3 of high quality drinking water per hour. Lower rates of drinking water production can be obtained using the waste heat from combustion engines.
