Welcome to "CH4 Storage in Hydrates" Performance Assessment Tool (PAT)

CH4hydPAT is a web-based application that calculates the methane storage capacity of hydrates as a function of pressure (P) in the range 0 - 200 MPa, along isotherm (T) curves in the range 200 - 300 K. The storage capacity calculations are based on Monte Carlo simulations. Currently three hydrates structures (i.e., sI, sII, and sH) are considered. Related references can be found here.

The following five cases are examined:

[A] Pure methane hydrates
[B] Binary methane hydrates with promoter in the large (L) cages
[C] Binary methane hydrates with promoter in the medium (M) cages. Applicable only for the case of sH hydrate
[D] Binary methane hydrates with tuning of promoter in large cages
[E] Binary methane hydrates with tuning of promoter in medium cages. Applicable only for the case of sH hydrate
