Spring 2014
The objective of this study was to determine if there was any difference in the bioremediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and to quantify and identify bacteria present in different scenarios. Two reactors were compared in this study: an acetic acid amended OSPW bioreactor, (AAAO...

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are promising energy conversion devices that offer high efficiency and low environmental impact. In order to understand and accurately estimate the SOFCs performance, advanced modeling techniques are required due to SOFCs complicated multi-physics nature and complex...

Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...

Combined Adsorption and Biodegradation Processes for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Treatment
DownloadFall 2014
The oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated from bitumen extraction of oil sands by industries in Northern Alberta, Canada, is a great environmental concern because of the OSPW toxicity in the environment. This toxicity has been attributed to a group of alicyclic and aliphatic compounds...

Design, Deployment, Performance and Assessment of Downhole and Near Surface Monitoring Technology for Geological CO2 Storage
DownloadSpring 2012
Early carbon storage research and development efforts in Canada and elsewhere began with “value-added” projects such as CO2-enhanced oil recovery or CO2 enhanced coalbed methane, where the increase in production helps to offset the costs of CO2 and of its potential long-term storage. These...

Non-linear reparameterization of complex models with applications to a microalgal heterotrophic fed-batch bioreactor
DownloadSpring 2010
Good process control is often critical for the economic viability of large-scale production of several commercial products. In this work, the production of biodiesel from microalgae is investigated. Successful implementation of a model-based control strategy requires the identification of a model...
