Abstract
Replacement of the traditional thermodynamic hydrate<br>inhibitors (methanol and glycols) in wet gas applications is<br>more and more highly desirable for cost savings and for<br>Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) considerations. This<br>seems achievable by using alternative Kinetic Hydrate<br>Inhibitors (KHI). KHIs are able to delay hydrate formation for<br>the time needed to transport the effluents in hydrate region<br>conditions.
