Evaluation of CH4 Gas Permeation Rates through Silicone Membranes and Its Possible Use as CH4-Extractor in Gas Hydrate Deposits

This preliminary study discusses the option of using silicone (PDMS) tubes for the extraction and monitoring of CH4 gas from hydrate deposits during decomposition. For this, the gas flow of gaseous and dissolved CH4 through hand-manufactured silicone tube membranes has been tested on a small lab sca...
