Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced from the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste, moreover, emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. In...

Experimental Study on the Carbon Conversion Efficiency and Emission Indices of a Lab-Scale Air-Assisted Flare
DownloadSpring 2019
A lab-scale coflow burner was used to investigate the effect of air assist on the carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) and emission indices (EIs) of industrial flare operations in the upstream and downstream energy sectors of the oil and gas industry. A 25.4 mm diameter burner was constructed of...

Generating Electricity from Agricultural Residue Biomass in Bolivia; A GIS and Techno-economic Analysis
DownloadFall 2018
Agricultural residues, a renewable source of energy, are widely available in Bolivia. Using agricultural residues to generate electricity on a large scale could decrease dependence on fossil fuels and provide a secure energy supply. Although the country depends on natural gas to generate...

Investigating the catalyitc combustion of methane and BTEX in a counter-diffusive radiant heater
DownloadSpring 2011
This research was aimed at investigating a counter-diffusive catalytic reactor for mitigation of methane and BTEX emissions from the natural gas dehydration process. A commercial radiant heater unit was used in the experiments and the effect of methane flow rate on its conversion was studied....

Life cycle assessment of electricity delivery systems: Attributional and Consequential approaches
DownloadFall 2020
The transition towards low carbon electricity generation can be guided by investigating the economic and environmental consequences of policy decisions. However, there is limited information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy footprints, and changes in production cost under different...

Quantification of Performance of Wildfire Chemicals using a Custom-Built Sensible Enthalpy Rise Calorimeter
DownloadSpring 2018
A simple and effective laboratory experiment was developed to investigate the relationship between coverage level, fuel load, and fire intensity for different vegetative fuels. The experiment consisted of a fuel bed consisting of known quantities of fuel load and applied coverage, and an...

Quantifying the Carbon Conversion Efficiency and Emission Indices of a Lab-Scale Steam-Assisted Flare
DownloadSpring 2019
A lab-scale flaring facility was established to study the carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) and emission indices (EIs) of total unburned hydrocarbons (THC), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and black carbon (BC) for a 25.4 mm diameter steam-assisted flare....
