The mixture of DEG and Gly with the ratio of 1:1 is experimented at 15, 10, and 5 wt concentrations and the pressure vary from 2.5 to 4.0 MPa. The T-cycle method is employed to assess the effect of the studied blends on the CO2 hydrate by evaluating the hydrate dissociation temperature. Varied compositions of pure DEG and Gly as well as their mixtures are used to compute the synergistic effect. The studied system's thermodynamic hydrate inhibition (THI) influence is a concentration-driven phenomenon. Higher concentration can shift the hydrate liquid vapor equilibrium (HLVE) curve to lower temperatures and high-pressure regions. The outcomes depict that mixture of DEG and Gly at 15 wt. Shows comparatively better results than the mixtures at 5 and 10 wt, respectively. The obtained 10 wt mixture results have also been compared with the conventional hydrate inhibitors and other THIs systems and provide a significant hydrate average suppression (�T) of 2.4 K. Furthermore, the freezing point-based Dickens and Quint Hunt model was also applied to predict the HLVE data of CO2 hydrates and satisfactory agreement found with maximum mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.498 K. A better inhibitory performance was seen when diethylene glycol and glycine were combined, demonstrating the potential of amino acids as synergistic inhibitors in the exploitation of hydrates, transportation of oil and gas, and flow assurance. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd date: 2022 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85137290206&doi=10.1016%2fj.chemosphere.2022.136181&partnerID=40&md5=33575a29e75a11ee214cb47bafca32e6 id_number: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136181 full_text_status: none publication: Chemosphere volume: 308 refereed: TRUE issn: 00456535 citation: Rehman, A.U. and Abdulwahab, A. and Kaur, A. and Khan, M.S. and Zaini, D.B. and Shariff, A.M. and Lal, B.
