Hydrate Inhibitors
Kinetic gas hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are applied to prevent gas hydrates from forming during gas production, especially in offshore operations. They are effective at low dosages and provide a sound alternative to alcohol or glycol injection. They reduce the rate of hydrate nucleation, and they also reduce crystal growth by interacting with H2O cages.
