Steam-solvent coinjection, if properly implemented, can improve the bitumen recovery efficiency of steam-only injection methods, such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Previous studies have shown that steam-solvent coinjection can reduce residual oil saturation lower than that of SAGD....

Fractionation Strategies to Obtain Multiple Products from the Hydrocarbon Stream of Fatty Acid Pyrolysis
DownloadFall 2021
A biorefinery concept defined as the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of products has been proposed to achieve the true sustainability goals of a bio-based economy. Lipid pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of lipids (triglycerides or fatty acids) into gas, liquid, and solid...

Moving horizon estimation for continuum and noncontinuum states with applications in distillation processes
DownloadFall 2011
This thesis focuses on the development of advanced state estimators for continuum and noncontinuum state estimations in a switching dynamic system, and the demonstration of their applications in addressing some important process monitoring problems of distillation processes. First, the...
