Abstract
The operation of a plant for producing a gas hydrate is stabilized by making the gas phase within a downstream step have the same equilibrium composition as that of the gas phase within a generation step. The gas phase within a mixed-gas hydrate generation step is circulated to the gas phase within a downstream step located downstream of the mixed-gas hydrate generation step, and the gas phase within each step is thereby made to have the same equilibrium composition as that of the gas phase within the generation step.
