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...

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...
