Abstract

A three-phase continuous-jet hydrate reactor (CJHR) is developed to produce dense CO2 hydrate particles for the purpose of ocean CO2 sequestration. The CJHR injector/reactor is described and experimental results using a High-pressure Water Tunnel Facility at the National Energy Technology Laboratory are be presented. The inputs to the reactor are liquid CO2 and seawater and the output is composite particles containing CO2 hydrate, unreacted liquid CO2, and seawater. Injections of composite particles are performed at pressures equivalent to 1200-1800 m depth and temperatures of 3°-5°C. CO2 hydrate dissolution at intermediate ocean depths is modeled using pseudohomogeneous and heterogeneous mass-transfer models to predict dissolution rates under different operating conditions. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
