Gas shale water imbibition tests with controlled suction technique
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi
Water loss during flowback operations represents one of the main challenges related to the use of hydraulic stimulation to exploit shale gas resources. About 20% of the injected fracturing fluids are usually recovered after stimulation. Fluid imbibition is ...
Springer verlag2018Analysis and Removal of Product Gas Contaminants Present in Gasification Processes
Energy demand and economic development are intrinsically linked. Earlier economic development came at the price of serious environmental pollution, posing a risk to life on earth. Thus, a transition from fossil to renewable energy is needed. Among the rene ...
EPFL2017VUV/UV light inducing accelerated phenol degradation with a low electric input
This study presents the first evidence for the accelerated degradation of phenol by Fenton's reagent in a minifluidic VUV/UV photoreaction system (MVPS). A low-pressure mercury lamp used in the MVPS led to a complete degradation of phenol within 4-6 min. T ...
RSC Publishing2017On-line liquid quench sampling and UV–Vis spectroscopy for tar measurements in wood gasification process gases
Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis
In biomass gasification processes, the formation and handling of tars are of major concern. Robust and versatile analytical tools are needed to on-line monitor tar compound concentrations in process gases from lab- to industrial scale. This study addresses ...
Elsevier2016Investigating the fate of petroleum fluids released in the marine environment with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and transport models
Anthropogenic releases of petroleum fluids, which contain thousands of compounds, represent a threat to marine environments. However, there was a lack of models able to explain the independent behaviors of the numerous compounds of a spilled petroleum flui ...
EPFL2016First day of an oil spill on the open sea: Early mass transfers of hydrocarbons to air and water
Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros, Deedar Nabi
During the first hours after release of petroleum at sea, crude oil hydrocarbons partition rapidly into air and water. However limited information is available about very early evaporation and dissolution processes. We report on the composition of the oil ...
