HYDRATE FORMATION MONITORING REACTOR Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G01N25/02 G01N21/65 B01J19/00 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automatic control of natural gas hydrate formation conditions and can be used for studying conditions of hydrate formation on different materials in conditions of deposits of hydrocarbons and main pipelines. Disclosed is a hydrate formation monitoring reactor comprising a metal cell provided with a plug configured to hermetically lock the cell and provided with channels for a thermocouple and for supplying water and gas under pressure. Plug is made in the form of cylinder equipped with annular band, is equipped with sealing ring seals in gap between plug surface and inner surface of cell, in cavity of which there are samples of tested materials. Vertical walls of the cell are equipped with diametrically located through holes, in which sealed sight glasses are placed from material which is transparent to the laser beam of the spectrometer. Cell is equipped with a cooling unit comprising a heat exchanger configured to remove heat from the cell housing.

EFFECT: possibility of simulating conditions (medium) for formation of hydrocarbon gas hydrates with possibility of instantaneous recording of hydrate formation of hydrocarbons on nano and hybrid functional materials, alloys and coatings with special properties using Raman spectroscopy.
