| description | Natural gas hydrate (NGH) has become the most potential emerging green energy known in the 21st century due to its characteristics of wide distribution, abundant reserves and clean combustion. This study designs an axial annulus in situ hydrocyclone desander (AAIHD) based on drilling instruments in order to resolve the serious problem of sand production during solid fluidization of NGH. The effect of the inlet flow rate and separation zone length on the sand removal efficiency of the AAIHD is tested through experimental research. The results indicate that AAIHD has a higher separation performance when the separation zone length is L/D=12.4 and the inlet flow rate is in the range of 10 m3/h to 25 m3/h, and the maximum separation efficiency reaches 77.4%. The purpose of this study is to achieve in-situ sand removal and the backfilling of sand slurry in addition to facilitate the advancement of solid fluidized exploration technologies. |
