The present invention relates to economically advantageous methods of forming, processing, transporting and storing fluids, especially natural gas in the form of solid crystalline gas hydrates. It has been found that fluid can be removed from a mixture of hydrate, liquid and optionally gas using a two stage fluid separation process in which a more efficient, but generally more expensive, fluid removing efficiency separation service is used for the second stage. A number of separation devices are also disclosed. A device for effectively and economically cooling substantially dry hydrate is also disclosed, as is a method for economically storing and transporting hydrate.
L'invention concerne des procédés avantageux économiquement qui permettent de former, traiter, transporter et stocker des fluides, en particulier du gaz naturel sous forme d'hydrates de gaz cristallins solides. En l'occurrence, le fluide peut être prélevé d'un mélange d'hydrates, de liquides et, facultativement, de gaz par un processus de séparation de fluides à deux phases, au cours duquel on utilise, lors de la seconde phase, un service de séparation et d'évacuation de fluide plus efficace, mais généralement plus coûteux. L'invention traite également de plusieurs dispositifs de séparation, ainsi que d'un dispositif qui permet de refroidir de manière efficace et économique des hydrates sensiblement secs, et d'un procédé pour stocker et transporter de manière économique les hydrates.
