CEP: August 2011
In August, CEP features a special supplement on carbon capture and storage, bioreactor designs for chemical engineers, challenges and perspectives on the chemical industry in Brazil, and the importance of trade shows.
Editorial
Planning for CEP's energy supplements begins up to a year in advance. By mid-July, the four articles in this year's supplement (pp. 33-56) on carbon capture and storage (CCS) had been written and edited, the layouts had been prepared...
Jared P. Ciferno, John J. Marano, Ronald K. Munson
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) could be an important part of the transition to lower-carbon energy sources. However, widespread integration of CCS with existing power-generation plants and technologies — on a commercial scale and in a cost-...
Navigating the Legal Landscape
Arnold W. Reitze Jr., Mary Ellen Ternes
A legal framework governing carbon sequestration will need to be put in place before major carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects can get underway. A final rule issued under the Safe Drinking Water Act sets minimum requirements, but this is just...
Characterizing a Geologic Formation
Daniel Brantley, John Shafer
A diverse collaboration is evaluating the geology of the South Georgia Rift basin and its suitability for long-term CO2 sequestration.
Demonstrating CCS Integration
Nick Irvin, P.E., P.G., Richard A. Esposito
The largest, fully integrated process for separating CO2 from fluegas and compressing it to a supercritical fluid, transporting the CO2 by pipeline, and injecting the CO2 into a saline reservoir is now underway at the Plant Barry generating station...
Bioreactor Design for Chemical Engineers
Gregory T. Benz
Fermentation processes are based on chemical engineering principles. Understand these concepts to achieve optimal bioreactor design.
