A detailed exergy analysis was performed for the steam reforming process of glycerol by means a series experiments in bench scale apparatus. The conducted fixed bed reactor, which operated heat recovery mode extracting demanded energy from hot exhaust gases provided diesel engine. In order to determine role main operational parameters into efficiency studied process, were carried out with feed ...

Background: Application of membrane technology to wastewater treatment has expanded over the last decades due to increasingly stringent legislation, greater opportunities for water reuse/recycling processes and continuing advancement in membrane technology. Objectives: In the present study, a bench-scale submerged microfiltration membrane bioreactor (MBR) was used to assess the treatment of tex...

In this paper, the evolution in thermochemical behaviours of hospital plastic wastes and changes in chemical composition and characteristics of pyrolysis liquid products have been investigated by using different fixed bed reactor scales. The main objective is to identify the critical technical parameters enabling thermochemical process adaptation in function of raw materials chemical structure,...

The material described in this article deals with waste conversion into energy vectors by pyrolysis, steam cracking, or oxidation of liquid biomass, carried out at small to medium scale. design a bench-scale experimental setup devoted gas phase kinetic data generation tubular reactor under laminar regime close plug flow is detailed based on very simple approach. Validation the designed was succ...

Three activated sludge reactors of different sizes and designs, one in pilot-plant-scale of 7,000 gallon liquid volume, and two in benchscales of 7.5 gallon and 1.2 gallon liquid volumes, respectively, were used to evaluate the scale-up effects on the process at outdoor temperatures. The reactors were operated under equivalent conditions by regulating the mean cell residence time, mean hydrauli...

Addition of halogens or halides has been reported to promote mercury removal in coal-fired power plants. In this study, benchand pilot-scale experiments were conducted using potassium iodide (KI) for capture and removal of Hg in air and coal combustion exhaust. Two bench-scale reactor systems were used: (1) a packedbed reactor (PBR) packed with granular or powder KI and (2) an aerosol flow reac...

Oxygen-consuming inerting technology is expected to be the primary method for suppressing aircraft fuel tank fires and explosions in next generation, with catalytic reactor serving as its core component. However, properties of developed catalyst have yet thoroughly studied, a reaction kinetic equation needed support further investigation reactor. Thus, this study focuses on performance RP-3 vap...
