A methodology has been developed for predicting incident thermal radiation levels around pool fires, following accidental spillages of flammable liquids into bunded areas. A realistic representation of the flame shape has been developed using new correlations for predicting the flame geometry. The model has been validated against data from a wide range of experiments and good agreement obtained...

2. Productivity at this level means that the production costs of H 2 (expressed as the cost in US dollars per joule of calorific value contained in the molecule) are two to three times higher than for natural gas 4,5. However, taking into account the transportation and distribution costs of natural gas, and how pure you want the H 2 to be, the comparative cost of H 2 production can vary. Biomas...

The present study describes the application of Fischer Tropsch biowaxes as a feedstock in a pilot-scale hydroprocessing unit at operating conditions very similar to industrial size hydrotreating plants of traditional refineries. The project focus on a future coprocessing of biowax/gasoil blends due to produce bio-products derived from lignocellulosic biomass: crack gases, naphtha, kerosene, die...
