On the basis of complete mixing experiments, a numerical simulation was performed to predict membrane area requirement and exit streams' compositions for commercial pervaporation units operated in plug flow mode.
CO2 stream composition has a great impact on the energy efficiency of the transport chain.
These results suggest that fuel sulfur content and stream composition affects the extraction efficiency and effectiveness of IL.
Measurement of the effluent stream composition by an FT-IR allowed detailed analysis of the reaction kinetics.
Additional extensive experimentation up to 176 runs under a wide range of feed stream composition, temperature and space time was carried out.
This work contributes to the field by providing a tool to identify usage patterns based on client-side event logs and by presenting event stream composition characteristics.
These results indicate that with a feed stream composition similar to that of biogas (see Introduction), it is possible with a single stage membrane operation, to obtain a gas mixture potentially injectable into the grid of CH4.
The fuels sulfur content and stream composition affects the extraction efficiency and effectiveness of IL, as such it may be advisable to have the desulfurization unit after the FCC rather than before in a refinery network.
The experimental runs were designed under operational conditions simulating NO, NH3, NO2 feed stream composition near to the real application for NOx removal from diesel engine automobile exhaust aftertreatment.
The performance of the proposed systems appears to depend strongly on the stream composition, being its effect beneficial in highly reducing atmospheres making it ideal for clean-up application.
