According to the size of each strip-shaped simulation space, a reaction kettle with the inner diameter of 500mm and corresponding length is selected, and the PET material is selected to be processed to form seven reaction cavities, so that the outer surfaces of the reaction cavities can be tightly attached to the inner surfaces of the reaction kettles. And finally, arranging seven reaction kettles at the positions of the seven strip-shaped simulation spaces obtained by dividing and connecting the seven reaction kettles into three-stage reaction kettles through connecting kettles (2, 3A and 3B) to form a reaction kettle group, and arranging the direction of each reaction kettle to enable the outline formed by the whole reaction kettle group to correspond to the size of the required fan-shaped simulation space.

In the process of forming the hydrate, parameters such as temperature, pressure, sound wave, resistance and the like in the reaction system are monitored and recorded through a data acquisition device and a monitoring device.
After each parameter is kept stable, namely the fluctuation range of each parameter is within a preset range, the completion of the generation of the hydrate in the reaction kettle is indicated, and the air inlet device is closed.
Hydrate is mined by adopting single-well depressurization mining. As shown in fig. 1, the hydrates in the reaction kettles were single well depressurized by a mining well provided at an end of the 1-a reaction kettles remote from the other reaction kettles. Meanwhile, the change of each parameter of the hydrate in each reaction kettle is monitored through a data acquisition device and a monitoring device of each reaction kettle so as to determine the decomposition condition of the hydrate in different reaction kettles and the affected condition of the hydrate perpendicular to the sector expansion direction.
