The Effect of Alkalinity, Magnesium and Ferrous on the Precipitation of Calcium Carbonate at Pre-Treatment Conditions of Mono Ethylene Glycol
(Master thesis, 2016)Mono ethylene glycol (MEG) is used to prevent formation of gas hydrate in the pipes transporting natural gas. The MEG is regenerated in a closed MEG loop, where water and salts are removed. The divalent ions are harder to ... -
Effect of Amine Volatility on Aerosol Droplet Development in Absorption Columns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In absorption processes aerosols are generated by spontaneous condensation or desublimation processes in supersaturated gas phases. Amine volatility is a vital screening parameter for amines to be used in CO2 capture. ... -
The Effect of Crosslinking on the Physical Aging of PTMSP Membranes
(Master thesis, 2017)For post-combustion CO2 capture, membranes with high permeability and relatively high CO2/N2 selectivity are favoured to compete with the commercial amine-based absorption technology. With the highest known CO2 permeability, ... -
Effect of Hydrophobic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on the Properties of Oil-Based Drilling Fluid
