Spring 2016
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of 3-nitrooxypropanol (NOP) to lower enteric methane (CH4) production by ruminants. Methane is an undesirable byproduct of enteric fermentation that represents a loss of energy to the animal. Additionally, CH4 is a greenhouse gas...

Integrating Data Analytics and Mass Balance Approaches to Estimate and Understand Regional Methane Emissions: A Study in the Permian Basin
DownloadFall 2023
Satellite-retrieved methane (CH4) concentration data offers a valuable opportunity for large-scale emissions monitoring. However, its widespread adoption remains challenging due to the data volume and varying data quality. A workflow to estimate the methane emission rate of major hydrocarbon...

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....

Measurements of Methane Pyrolysis in a Constant Volume Batch Reactor at High Temperatures and Pressures
DownloadFall 2021
Methane pyrolysis is a process used to generate hydrogen gas and carbon black without the creation of carbon dioxide. Methane pyrolysis in a constant volume batch reactor was investigated at temperatures of 892 K, 1093 K, and 1292 K with reaction times of 15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 180 s, and 300 s with...

Methane Production and Emission Mitigation in Oil Sands Tailings Concurrent with Hydrocarbon Degradation under Nitrogen Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2020
Alberta’s oil sands generate large volumes of tailings from bitumen ore processing. These tailings ponds produce biogenic methane, which can be measured across 60-80% of the tailings surface. Based on current surface area data and emissions studies, tailings ponds could account for 8% of Canada’s...

Collins, Catherine Elizabeth Victoria
Surface mining for bitumen extraction results in production of tailings that are deposited into large ponds. Tailings in the ponds support diverse microbial communities capable of metabolizing organic compounds and producing biogenic gases (methane, CH4 and carbon dioxide, CO2). Because of low...

Performance and Methane Emissions of RFI Selected Cattle in Drylot and Under Open Range Conditions
DownloadSpring 2018
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a moderately heritable trait that can be used to measure feed efficiency in beef cattle, and thereby reduce feed related costs. RFI has been primarily evaluated under drylot conditions where diet, feed intake and activity levels are controlled and foraging behaviour...
