RESEARCH AREAS:
The Center for Hydrate Research
resides in the Chemical Engineering
Department at the Colorado
School of Mines.
It is the largest research center in the world dealing with hydrates
and consists of about 20 students and faculty members at the Colorado
School of Mines.
The mission
of the Center is to research, through discovery and innovation, the
science and application of clathrate hydrates and other solids in
complex fluids. This is accomplished by the generation and
dissemination of knowledge through the training and education of
scientists and engineers. The other solids of interest besides
clathrate hydrates include ice, asphaltenes, waxes, clays, and
sediments. The complex fluids include gases, oils, and aqueous fluids.
The center fosters integrative and multidisciplinary research on these
areas to address fundamental science and practical challenges involving
clathrate hydrates and other solids in energy production,
transportation, and storage.
We
began our hydrate research in 1975. For more than two decades, we have
been funded from many sources, including an industrial consortium of
energy companies, the DeepStar Energy Consortium, federal agencies, and
non-profit organizations.
