Short‐Term Scheduling Optimization of a Single‐Pipeline Refining System With High Melting Point Crude Oil

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to reflect the actual production situation more comprehensively and optimize the production cost, this paper solves the short‐term scheduling optimization problem for a single pipeline containing high melting point crude oil. Based on the refining plan given by the upper layer, a multi‐objective optimization model with high melting ...

Study on Natural Gas Decarbonization Process Based on CO2 Desublimation Characteristics

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural gas decarbonization is a crucial processing step. In this study, the snow separation technology for removal of carbon dioxide in natural gas based on CO2 desublimation characteristics was introduced. The phase equilibrium calculation of CH4‐CO2 and N2‐CO2 system was carried out by using cubic equations of states (EOSs), and identified ...

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Effect of Temperature and Atmosphere on Agglomeration of Bed Particles in a Bubbling Fluidised Bed Burning Na‐Enriched Coal

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agglomeration of bed materials during circulating fluidised bed (CFB) combustion or gasification of high‐alkali fuel is a practical challenge in industrial practice. This work investigates experimentally the effect of temperatures (700°C–900°C) and atmosphere (air equivalence ratios 1.61–0.53) on agglomeration in a lab‐scale bubbling fluidised
