A study on pressure vacuum swing adsorption based process design for carbon dioxide capture
DownloadFall 2017
In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, realizing an energy efficient carbon dioxide capture process is important. Adsorption based carbon capture is a potential low energy separation technology. Although there have been considerable advances in this field, a full technological maturity of...

Mechanisms of Aggregation and Separation of Water and Solids from Bitumen Froth using Cluster Size Distribution
DownloadFall 2016
The large-scale corrosion and equipment damage caused by water and solids respectively in bitumen froth necessitate their removal using various methods. This study is aimed at understanding how water and solids aggregate (water-water, water-solid and solid-solid) in bitumen froth and what the...

Phase Behavior and Thermophysical Properties of Athabasca Bitumen and Athabasca Bitumen + Toluene Mixtures in Near-critical Water
DownloadSpring 2014
The phase behavior and thermophysical properties of heavy hydrocarbons + water at elevated temperatures underpins development and implementation of coordinated production and refining processes, where for example, bitumen is produced by a SAGD method (steam assisted gravity drainage) and the...
