BRANDON METHOD APPLICATION FOR OBTAINING OF HYDRATE FORMATION PROCESS KINETICS EMPIRICAL EQUATION

The expedience of the Brandon method utilization for obtaining of the empirical equation for the kinetics of hydrate formation process is substantiated. An example of processing uzing Brandon algorithm of experimental data according the rate of formation of gas hydrates at cold accumulation for obtaining the equation of the process kinetics is considered. The sufficiency of the resulting equation by Fisher’s and Student’s measures is evaluated and it is shown that it describes the rate of hydrate formation with an average fractional error of 4,8 %.
