AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Truck engine waste heat recovery (WHR) systems have been investigated for many years. Among them, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. Proposed expanders are of ...
In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...
In this study, the performance of high-purity hydrogen production through the sorption-enhanced chemical looping gasification (SECLG) process, involving a gasifier, calciner, and air reactor, was investigated. In this process, the biomass feedstock was woo ...
The use of biomass gasification for partially or totally replacing methane in the integrated syngas and ammonia production plant is compared with the performance of the conventional route, typically based on steam methane reforming. However, by undertaking ...
Currently, electricity generation and second-generation ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstocks represent technological alternatives in the bioenergy sector. Nevertheless, the introduction of new production processes denotes a real challenge due ...
First generation ethanol (1G) contributes to the majority of the ethanol produced worldwide, predominantly centered on corn and sugarcane. Nevertheless, several issues are regularly highlighted concerning the long-term sustainability of this technology, in ...
Lignocellulose-based biofuels are of major importance to mitigate the impact of international traffic and transport on climate change while sustaining agricultural land for food supply. Highly integrated systems like consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), where ...
Modern ammonia production plants are equipped with efficient energy integration networks able to recover an important fraction of the waste heat exergy available throughout the chemical system. However, in order to drive the endothermic reforming reactions ...
The requirement for sustainable development has prompted the researchers to explore solutions for better utilization of renewable energy resources in the future. Biomass is a promising resource and it can be converted to multiple products and services incl ...
Some byproducts of the Kraft pulp mills, such as the black liquor (1.4 t/t ADpulp, 15% solids), still contain more than half of the exergy content of the total wood fed to the digester. This residue represents a key supply of renewable energy to the pulp a ...
