Abstract

Methane is a potential alternative energy source which is abundant and produces
lower CO2 emissions when it is used as fuel due to the content of C in the methane
molecule is much lesser than its H content. Besides in a form of gas, methane in nature
can also be in the form of methane hydrates. The formation process of methane
hydrates in nature can be adopted as a method of storage of methane. In this study, a
thermodynamics review will be studied related to temperature and pressure in a phase
equilibrium system of methane hydrate . Thermodynamic model aims to predict the
stability of methane hydrates for effective storage of methane. Each volume of methane
hydrate contains as 164 volumes of methane gas under standard conditions ( STP ). The
study was conducted by adsorbing methane on a wet porous carbon with the method
of static volumetric.. The experimental results show that at the temperature of 274 K
methane hydrates was formed at a pressure of 2.75 MPa; at a temperature of 275 K,
pressure of 3.16 MPa; at a temperature of 276 K, pressure of 3.44 MPa, while at a
temperature of 277 K, pressure of 3.67 MPa. Temperatures and pressures data are used
to calculate the parameters of Langmuir equation constants modeled by the Van der
Waals - Platteeuw for the chemical potential of water in the hydrate phase, Holder et al
for the chemical potential of water in the liquid phase, as well as for the Gibbs-Thomson
effect of porous carbon media.
