A novel process design for a more cost-effective, greener process for making chemicals from shale gas and bioethanol is presented. The oxidative coupling of methane and cocracking technologies are considered for converting methane and light natural gas liquids, into value-added chemicals. Overall, the process includes four process areas: gas treatment, gas to chemicals, methane-to-ethylene, and...

This work tackles the question of power generation by means of gasification. Growing economies and global warming are important challenges these years: so that cleaner and more efficient power plants designs have to be achieved. In this context, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants have an important role, due to their more efficient way of producing energy since fossil fue...

Limitations regarding process design, optimization, and control often occur when using particular simulators. With the implementation of connection methodologies, integrated tools could be made by coupling popular simulation software with each other or programming environments. In current paper, we summarized categorized existing research application multi-software engineering in chemical indus...

Hydrogen (H2) is known for its clean energy characteristics. Its separation and purification to produce high-purity H2 becoming essential promoting a economy. There are several technologies, such as pressure swing adsorption, membrane, cryogenic, which can be adopted H2; however, each standalone technology has own pros cons. Unlike technology, the integration of technologies shown significant p...

The oil and gas sector has recently shown an interest in hydrodynamic cavitation for enhancement, as it allows reducing transportation refinement costs. This work presents a fluid-dynamic study of Colombian at different temperatures passing through vortex reactor. First, experimental design was elaborated, establishing the temperature quantity injected hydrogen donor factors final viscosity res...
