Drysphere™ Alumina Answers Natural Gas Hydrate
Problem for Oil and Gas Drilling Companies
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NORCROSS, GA, MAY 12, 2010 –
The recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill devastation
has raised awareness about the natural gas
hydrate problem experienced by BP.
The British global energy
giant attempted to impede the flow of crude oil
into the sea by implementing a containment dome
onto the leaking pipe. Natural gas hydrates
formed and clogged the dome after water came
into contact with natural gas at high pressure
and low temperature settings. Gas hydrates are
common threats to the oil and gas industries and
can be avoided by taking preventative measures.
DAI, a company dedicated to
environmental cleanup and clean energy solutions
manufactures the desiccant Drysphere™, a product
that potentially avoids the problems BP is
facing today.
Drysphere™ is a unique
activated alumina chemically and physically
modified to adsorb 36% of its own weight,
considerably exceeding all other leading
desiccants.
“Gas and oil
companies are well aware of the potential
devastation natural gas hydrates cause in
situations like this,” said Dr. Mark
Moskovitz, President and Chief Scientist.
“By using a product like Drysphere™,
necessary precautions are taken that avoid
mass environmental destruction and preserve
natural energy resources at the same time.”
With the ongoing controversy
surrounding oil drilling, natural gas will
become recognized as the next primary energy
source. Due to abundant domestic resources,
natural gas has the power to fuel the North
American continent for the next 100 years. As
with any other gas, natural gas must be stored
and kept devoid of water in order to be
resourceful. At a well encasement, Drysphere™
can be used at the point of drilling and at the
point of use to assure maximum performance.
“DAI’s mission is
to provide superior products for
environmentally sustainable applications,”
said Dr. Moskovitz. “And we are extremely
proud of the products we are manufacturing
and hope that oil and gas industries will
take advantage of the superiority of
Drysphere™ dehydrating alumina.”
DAI contacted the Deepwater
Horizon Joint Information Center offering the
required tonnage of Drysphere™ material to
address the BP containment dome needs. It is
currently unknown if BP will choose to accept
the offer.
DAI applauds the actions of
Secretary Salazar and Chu by offering our
services for scientific and technical support
surrounding this catastrophe, said Dr.
Moskovitz.
