A polyether glycol derived from cashew nutshell as a kinetic inhibitor for methane hydrate formation

The polyether glycol derived from cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) inhibited the formation of methane hydrate. The polymer proved to be more efficient than the polyvinyl pyrrolidone-poly(N-vinyl) caprolactam (PVP-PVCap) co-polymer under tested conditions (CH4, 1470 psi and 4 ºC), being the latter one o...

Description
Summary:The polyether glycol derived from cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) inhibited the formation of methane hydrate. The polymer proved to be more efficient than the polyvinyl pyrrolidone-poly(N-vinyl) caprolactam (PVP-PVCap) co-polymer under tested conditions (CH4, 1470 psi and 4 ºC), being the latter one of the best commercially available hydrate inhibitors.
