The performance of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap) as kinetic
gas hydrate inhibitors in saline solutions and with heptane was evaluated using high …

The accurate determination of hydrate formation temperature (HFT) is an extremely vital step
in the context of designing processes containing hydrates. Due to the prohibitive time and …

Hydrate behavior has been under continuous investigation and so far numerous
experimental and modeling examinations have been published since its discovery. In …

A facile, new and promising technique based on waterborne polymers for designing and
synthesizing kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) has been proposed to prevent methane …

To alleviate the hydrate blockage risk in oil and gas pipelines/production facilities,
thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors (THIs) and kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are the …

Ice-like crystal compounds, which are formed in low-temperature and high-pressure
thermodynamic conditions and composed of a combination of water molecules and guest …

This study is devoted to the evaluation of vegetable oils (in this case castor oil) as an
inexpensive, sustainable, environment-friendly, natural and promising resource to …

Over the years, clathrate hydrates have been investigated for its potential as an energy
resource and other industrial applications. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been used successfully for about the last 16 years to
prevent gas hydrate formation mostly in gas and oilfield production lines. They work by …

Certain organisms survive low temperatures using a range of physiological changes
including the production of antifreeze proteins (AFPs), which have evolved to adsorb to ice …
