Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computers, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, system, and storage medium for controlling the generation of hydrates. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrates are crystals formed by the interaction of gas and water under specific temperature and pressure conditions. A hydrate is a cage-like crystalline inclusion, where water molecules are bonded together by hydrogen bonds to form cage-like crystals, and gas molecules are enclosed within the crystal lattice. Under different temperatures and pressures, one or more types of hydrates, such as Type I, Type II, Type H, TBAB-A, and TBAB-B, can be formed. The formation of TBAB-A and TBAB-B hydrates requires the use of the promoter tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), and under conditions where multiple hydrates are formed simultaneously, TBAB-B hydrates typically exhibit higher fluidity and conversion rates.

[0003] In the prior art, TBAB-B type hydrates are generated by setting initial conditions. During the generation of this type of hydrate, as the concentration of the gas generating the hydrate or the concentration of the promoter decreases, the hydrate phase equilibrium condition of the TBAB-B type hydrate increases. In order to improve the conversion rate of TBAB-B type hydrates, the pressure in the reactor is usually increased, which leads to the generation of other types of hydrates under this pressure, resulting in a low conversion rate of the target hydrate.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a way to effectively control the formation of hydrates. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0057] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0058] First, let me explain the terms used in this application:

[0059] Conversion rate: The ratio of the number of water molecules in the hydrate to the total number of water molecules in the working solution.

[0060] Hydrate phase equilibrium conditions: The state in which the three phases of gas, solution, and hydrate remain constant in temperature, pressure, gas phase composition, liquid phase composition, and hydrate phase mass (amount of substance). These conditions are the hydrate phase equilibrium conditions.

[0061] Amount of matter: a physical quantity that represents a collection containing a certain number of particles.

[0062] The structural types of hydrates are the different cage-like or semi-cage-like structures formed by water molecules in the hydrate, without considering the influence of gas molecules, such as type I, type II, type H, TBAB-A, TBAB-B and other cage-like and semi-cage-like structures.

[0063] In existing technologies, TBABB-B type hydrates are generated by setting initial conditions, such as pressure and temperature. However, as TBABB-B type hydrates are generated, the concentration of the gas that generates TBABB-B type hydrates decreases or the concentration of the promoter decreases. This causes the hydrate phase equilibrium condition of TBABB-B type hydrates to increase. In order to maintain the conversion rate of TBABB-B type hydrates, the pressure of the reactor is usually increased. However, under this pressure, other structural types of hydrates are generated, thereby reducing the conversion rate of the target hydrate.

[0064] Based on this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical concept of this application is: how to provide a new method for controlling the formation of hydrates in order to increase the formation amount of the target hydrate.

[0065] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a hydrate formation control system according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in the figure below. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: computer 11, camera 12, microscope 13, reaction vessel 14, double-layer reactor 15, circulating refrigerator 16, surface light source 17, buffer tank 18, vacuum pump 19, gas cylinder 20, automatic pump 21, pressure sensor 22, and temperature sensor 23.

[0066] The system includes a computer 11 controlling a camera 12 to acquire images of the reaction vessel 14 via a microscope 13. A surface light source 17, positioned on the front of the reaction vessel, provides illumination for the camera. A jacketed reactor 15, located outside the reaction vessel 14, increases the temperature within the vessel. A circulating chiller 16 lowers the temperature. A buffer tank 18, a vacuum pump 19, a gas cylinder 20, and an automatic pump 21 regulate the pressure within the reaction vessel 14. A pressure sensor 22 and a temperature sensor 23 are installed within the reaction vessel, transmitting the acquired pressure and temperature data to the computer 11. The computer 11 can control the circulating chiller and the jacketed reactor based on the acquired temperature, and it can also control the automatic pump 21 based on the acquired pressure.
