This paper illustrates a methodology developed to facilitate the analysis of complex systems characterized by a large number of technical, economical and environmental parameters. Thermo-economic modeling of a natural gas combined cycle including CO2 separation options has been coupled within a...

CO2 separation from wet and dry synthetic biogas has been investigated using adsorption on 4A and 13X molecular sieves in dynamic conditions, flowing through fixed beds in an adsorption column connected with an IR detector. The adsorption of CO2 has also been investigated by IR spectroscopy over...

In this paper, the results of the thermodynamic and economic analyses of distributed power generation plants (1.5MWe) are described and compared. The results of an exergetic analysis are also reported, as well as the thermodynamic details of the most significant streams of the plants. The...

The membrane reactor is a novel technology for the production of hydrogen from natural gas. It promises economic small-scale hydrogen production, e.g. at refuelling stations and has the potential of inexpensive CO2 separation. Four configurations of the membrane reactor have been modelled with...

The hydrate-based CO2 (carbon dioxide) separation and capture from CO2/H2 (hydrogen) gas mixtures with the different CO2 concentrations is investigated in 0.29 mol% TBAB (tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide) solution. Raman spectroscopic analysis is employed to determine the compositions of the...

The hydrate-based carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) synthesis gas using the bubble method is investigated with a set of visual equipment in this work. The gas bubble is created with a bubble plate on the bottom of the equipment. By the visual...
