“…While most of the above kinetic studies were carried out in stirred tank reactor configuration, various other configurations have been investigated for hydrate formation, including unstirred tank reactor (Ho et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2009a), bubble method (Xu et al, 2012a(Xu et al, , 2012b, water-in-oil emulsion method (Ding et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2014), continuous flow, and fixed bed reactor. Fixed bed reactor (FBR) configuration has been reported in literature for its significant ability in enhancing the kinetics of hydrate formation for the HBGS process (Adeyemo et al, 2010;Babu et al, 2013c;Kumar and Kumar, 2015;Kumar et al, 2013;Park et al, 2013a;Seo and Kang, 2010;Yang et al, 2015).…”
