Mechanical vapor compressio--Membrane distillation hybrids for reduced specific energy consumption [PDF]

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2016
The energy efficiency of membrane distillation (MD) systems is low when compared to other thermal desalination systems. This leads to high water production costs when conventional fuels such as natural gas are used.

Real-Time Minimization of Mechanical Specific Energy with Multivariable Extremum Seeking [PDF]

Energies, 2021
Drilling more efficiently and with less non-productive time (NPT) is one of the key enablers to reduce field development costs. In this work, we investigate the application of a data-driven optimization method called extremum seeking (ES) to achieve more

Towards Large Particle Size in Compound Feed: Using Expander Conditioning Prior to Pelleting Improves Pellet Quality and Growth Performance of Broilers

Animals, 2022
During the processing of compound feed for broilers, several changes occur that affect the physical and probably the nutritional properties of pellets, influencing animal performance. The effects of mill type, particle size (PS) and expander conditioning

Specific microbiome-dependent mechanisms underlie the energy harvest efficiency of ruminants [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2016
Abstract Ruminants have the remarkable ability to convert human-indigestible plant biomass into human-digestible food products, due to a complex microbiome residing in the rumen compartment of their upper digestive tract. Here we report the discovery that rumen microbiome components are tightly linked to cows’ ability to extract energy ...
