Abstract:
Chemical inhibitors are used in decomposition of methane hydrate to produce methane and this process involves the injection of chemical inhibitors that changes the equilibrium conditions for hydrate formations. Most applicable chemicals are such as methanol, ethanol or brine. In this research work, we discuss the evaluation of chemical inhibitors on methane production. In this paper different literatures reviews have been visited concerning evaluation of chemical inhibitors on methane production and this have been done through consulting internet search in which secondary data were extracted. It was observed that most literatures do not contain the knowledge on the evaluation of chemical inhibitors on methane production. It was recommended that in the future, the research work on the evaluation of chemical inhibitors on methane production needs to be done by performing the surveys on the cost analysis of these chemicals inhibitors, environmental effect on its uses and the favorable conditions fit for these chemical inhibitors.
