Abstract
Accumulation of primary energy of natural gas is a perspective industrial area mainly for countries
dependent on the import of energy and raw materials. Transporting and storage of natural gas is
economically and technologically demanding, which is always reflected in the resulting price.
Natural gas hydrates allow transport and storage at low pressures and relatively favorable
temperatures. Another no less important area is the storage of energy in biogas plants where gas
formation is time-dependent. Biogas hydrates would allow short-term storage at room temperature
and atmospheric pressure. This article deals with the design of a functional prototype for the
production of hydrates and numerical simulation.

1. Introduction
Gas Hydrate as Energy Storage
The storage of natural gas in hydrates is particularly advantageous in terms of storage capacity,
but also in terms of gas storage safety, which is possible at higher temperatures and lower pressures
compared to other storage technologies such as liquefaction or compression. The gas hydrate can
be a great source of energy that begins to be included in the considerations of gas supply for the
next decades. It is estimated that 99% of the global gas hydrate supply occurs in marine sediments
under the corresponding temperature and pressure conditions, in seabed sediments, at depths from
300 m to 4000 m. [1, 2]
