How Methane Hydrates can be Harvested into Energy

In order for raw methane hydrate slurry to be processed and harvested into energy, it must go through three steps: sweetening, dehydration, and a light oil absorber – this eventually yields a stripped natural gas, which is essentially entirely methane. The ‘sweetening’ process removes H2S, if any is present. The presence of acidic H2S in the gas can cause damage to pipelines, valves, and potentially poison catalysts used throughout the process. Moreover, the condenser process removes excess water before compression and liquefaction. Since ethane and CO2 may be present, they must be removed in order to make this gas-to-liquid process work. The remaining H2O will aid in the production of purified gas. This proposed method is similar to that used to process natural gas.

Call for Papers

Founded in June 2010, the Journal of Undergraduate Biological Studies (JUBS) serves as a publication gateway for graduate and undergraduates students who are pursuing a career in research.

Journals are published in both print and online

Our journal platform reproduces your original work in PDF format, where it is then indexed in Google Scholar and CrossRef. Readers can freely access or cite the article.

Review and Submission

JUBS accepts research papers, review papers, case studies, technical notes, and book reviews pertaining to any biology-related field of study. Accepted papers are published online within two weeks after the completion of all necessary publishing steps.
