| R & D for Natural Gas Hydrate Pellets Carriers |
Natural Gas Hydrate (NGH : solid matter containing natural gas molecules in the molecules of H2O having like cages) is expected as a new means for natural gas transportation especially from medium to small sized gas fields, those are thought to be not suitable for commercialization under the present transportation systems, i.e. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carries or pipe lines. To meet these expectations, JSTRA is currently developing the NGH carrier and its system. Development of the innovative design method of propeller JSTRA develops the high efficiency propeller shape optimization program by genetic algorithm method.
