Data-driven modeling has been finding increasing prominence in process systems engineering in both academia and industries. Latent variable modeling forms an important component of data-driven modeling. Through latent variable modeling, not only can we deal with issues such as collinearity,...

Industrial biotechnology is used to produce biofuels, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other products and for wastewater treatment and soil remediation. Over the last several years, the use of whole-cell biocatalysts (WCB) for sequestering carbon dioxide has gained considerable attention. Although...

Networked control systems (NCSs) and distributed networked control systems (DNCSs) increasingly appear in the modern process industry due to continuous expansion of system scales, physical setups and functionalities. Control loops in a NCS are closed through information exchange between the...

Data has become an integral part of analysis and decision-making across various disciplines including health, economy, biology, process systems engineering, and sports. Despite the abundance of big data, the identification of the fundamental source of disruption in process systems engineering...

Protein silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising treatment strategy for cancer as over-expression of proteins is largely responsible for cancer cells’ infinite proliferation, evasion of cell death and multi-drug resistance. However, siRNAs require a carrier as their biological...

The liquid crystal phase state has long-range order in one or two dimensions and is an intermediate phase state between the unordered liquid state and the solid crystalline state with long-range order in three dimensions. Liquid crystals, comprising spherical liquid crystalline shells surrounding...

This project was initiated to study the H2S removal process from liquid sulfur and later extended to generic liquid degassing scenarios. Enersul HyspecTM Degassing Process was first field tested so that comparison could be made with new units to be engineered. Two new degassing units were...

This work examined liquid/liquid drawdown. Two tank geometries (ST and CIST) and three sets of impellers (PBT, A310, RT) were used. Water and Canola oil were the continuous and dispersed phases, respectively, with a holdup of oil of either 10% or 30%. First, the point of initial disruption of the...

Injection of carbon dioxide or low molar mass hydrocarbons to improve the productivity of oil wells has become a common practice. Such injectants are not fully miscible in reservoir fluids and oils leading to liquid-liquid phase behaviour in reservoirs, in production systems and surface...
