ABSTRACT:
A process for delaying the formation and/or reducing the agglomeration tendency of hydrates in conditions under which a hydrate may be formed, these hydrates being formed from water and gas.
The process according to the invention wherein, in particular, an additive comprising at least one amphiphilic compound chosen from the group of esters of polyols and substituted or unsubstituted carboxylic acids is used.
Application of the process according to the invention to processes using gases and water, which form hydrates between them, in particular in the petroleum or gas industry.
