PLANT FOR GAS PRODUCTION OUT OF GAS HYDRATE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21B43/34 C10L3/08 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: plant for gas production out of a gas hydrate includes a gas production unit and a gas hydrate feeding unit. The plant comprises a reactor, a tank with water, a heater and a separator. In its upper part the reactor is equipped with a compressed gas export pipeline to consumers through the separator. The tank is connected to the reactor by a water feeding pipeline with a pump and a water discharge pipeline from the reactor in its lower part. The separator is equipped with a water and unreacted hydrate discharge pipeline. The device comprises additionally a system for cooling inner walls of the reactor, a fan, a receiver, a gas filter, a compressed gas consumer, a heat exchanger with channels for cold and hot carriers, a turbine expander with an electric generator, a choke valve, a liquid filter, a liquefied gas consumer, a breathing tap and a safety valve for the reactor cavity, stop and regulating valves and a gas cooling system in front of the turbine expander.

EFFECT: production of the high-pressure compressed gas and liquefied gas, provision of the plant operation due to its own energy resources, provision of the gas production mode with permanent pressure and flow rate.
