Improving Gas Condensate Reservoir Productivity

Oct 18, 2011
Adel Elsharkawy
Gas condensate reservoirs experience great losses in productivity as the reservoir pressure drops below the dew point pressure due to formation and accumulation of liquid condensate around the well bore and subsequent reduction of gas relative permeability. Several methods have been proposed to...

Accelerated Thermal Decomposition of Ammonia Borane by Carbon Dioxide

Oct 18, 2011
Junshe Zhang
This talk presents the enhanced dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) at 85 o C under CO2, an abundant and naturally occurring material. The presence of CO 2 significantly accelerates the thermal decomposition and it kinetics becomes faster as the CO 2 pressure increases from 1.70 to 3.67 bar...

Development of a Compact Fischer Tropsch Reactor

Oct 18, 2011
Lyman Frost
Fischer Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a polymerization process where a CH X species is added to a growing aliphatic chain. There are several models of the catalytic chain propagation rate and the termination of the chain growth (e.g. Anderson – Schulz – Flory model). The exact methodology for the...

Preparation and Testing of Adsorbents for the Separation of Ionic Liquids From HMF

Oct 18, 2011
Yuxiang Rao
HMF is an important chemical product since it has the potential to be used as a feedstock to replace petroleum-derived aromatics for production of a range of specialty chemicals and plastics.In this work, we will demonstrate an economically-viable, ionic liquid catalytic process for conversion of...

Gas Fermentation of Industrial Waste Gases to Fuel and Chemicals

Oct 18, 2011
Derek W. Griffin
The food versus fuel debate is becoming increasingly controversial in the wake of the industrialization of eastern countries and the ever-growing population of the world. Sustainable and renewable feed stocks are being explored as energy sources in order to meet the increasing energy demand and...

Chemical Looping Combustion Development and Perspectives

Oct 17, 2011
Florent Guillou
Chemical Looping Combustion is presently considered as one of the most promising CO 2 capture technology in terms of efficiency penalty and cost reduction. TOTAL and IFP Energies nouvelles are collaborating for the development of chemical looping combustion applications. In order to develop...

Solar Grade Silicon Production In Fluidized Bed Reactor

Oct 17, 2011
Juan Du
In this work, we present a multi-scale modeling approach for solar grade silicon production in fluidized bed reactor (FBR) by thermal decomposition of silane. The FBR process has been commercialized by several companies and promises to deliver poly-silicon at reasonable and stable price. Silane...
