Optimal Synthesis of Fuel Gas Networks for Energy Sustainability

Oct 16, 2011
Iftekar A. Karimi
The world is facing two critical and inseparable issues in energy and climate change. The fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) that supply over 85% of the current primary worldwide demand will continue to be the major source for the near future. However, coal, oil, and natural gas emit 208,...

Over a period of more than 10 years of deploying industrial projects related to energy systems real time optimization and cost reduction in processing industries around the world, the following issues have been found time and time again: • Many applications of energy cost reduction technologies are...

Reduction of Neptunium In Synthetic High Level Liquid Waste

Oct 18, 2011
Shaowei Li
High-level liquid waste (HLLW), which is produced from reprocessing of the spent nuclear fuel and contains actinides, 90Sr, 137Cs, 99Tc, 129I, etc., engenders permanent hazard to environment. The safe treatment and disposal of HLLW are crucial to sustainable development of nuclear energy. The TRPO...

Thermochemical Hydrogen Production by Alkali Metal Oxides

Oct 16, 2011
Hiroki Miyaoka
In this work, we have focused a thermo chemical hydrogen production from water by using alkali metal oxides. This system consists of three step reactions. First one is H 2 generation by the reaction of hydroxide and metal 2MOH+2M→2M 2 O+H 2 (endothermic). From the oxide as the product of first...

Treatment of Produced Water Using Microbial Fuel Cells

Nov 7, 2010
Abhijeet P. Borole
Sustainable utilization of natural energy sources in the future will require development of technologies with minimal impact on the environment. Produced water generated from oil and gas production operations currently generate 10 times more water than the amount of fossil fuel produced. In order...
