Hydrate formation below the freezing point of water
Hydrate formation below the freezing point of water
(OP)
Anybody got knowledge about this subject or best of all references.
The situation is:
I have a gas stream where the water dew point at the lowest pressure (75 barg) is -16 deg C. For higher pressure the deqpoint is only marginally higher.
This means that the water will freeze to ice. Will hydrates then form (we are way below hydrate formation point)?
If "normal" ice just as big a nuiance?
Best regards
