520 |a Although the wettability of hydrate surfaces and hydrate film growth are key to understanding hydrate agglomeration and pipeline plugging, a quantitative understanding of the coupled behavior between both phenomena is lacking. In situ measurements of wettability coupled with film growth were performed for cyclopentane hydrate surfaces in cyclopentane at atmospheric pressure and temperatures between 1.5-6.8 °C. Results were obtained as a function of annealing (conversion) time and subcooling. Hydrate surface wettability decreased as annealing time increased, while hydrate film growth rate was unaffected by annealing time at any subcooling. The results are interpreted as a manifestation of the hydrate surface porosity, which depends on annealing time and controls water spreading on the hydrate surface. The wettability generally decreased as the subcooling increased because higher subcooling yields rougher hydrate surfaces, making it harder for water to spread. However, this effect is balanced by hydrate growth rates, which increase with subcooling. Also affecting the results, surface heating from heat release (from exothermic crystallization) allows excess surface water to promote spreading. The hydrate film growth rate on water droplets increased with subcooling, as expected from a higher driving force. At any subcooling, the instantaneous hydrate growth rate decreased over time, likely from heat transfer limitations. A new phenomenon was observed, where the angle at the three-phase point increases from the initial contact angle upon hydrate film growth, named the crystallization angle. This is attributed to the water droplet trying to spread while the thin film is weak enough to be redirected. Once the hydrate film grows and forms a "wall" around the droplet, it cannot be moved, and further growth yields a crater on the droplet surface, attributed to water penetrating the hydrate surface pore structures. This fundamental behavior has many flow assurance implications since it affects the interactions between the agglomerating hydrate particles and water droplets
