The low cost of natural gas has driven significant interest in using C1 carbon sources (e.g. methane, methanol, CO, syngas) as feedstocks for producing liquid transportation fuels and commodity chemicals. Given the large contribution of sugar and lignocellulosic feedstocks to biorefinery operating costs, natural gas and other C1 sources may provide an economic advantage. To assess the relative ...

Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) processes have great potential as alternative to conventional oil and coal processing for the production of liquid fuels. In GTL-processes the partial oxidation of methane (POM) is combined with the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. An important part of the investment costs of a conventional GTL-plant is related to cryogenic air separation. These costs could be substantially reduced...

• Adding CeO 2 nanopowder and CNT as fuel additives leads to reduced emissions. Fuel reduce the penetration of DF during injection at low ambient pressure. increases GTL after injection. Higher pressure or temperature a increased average cone angle. Penetration reduces with growing This work aims experimentally investigate demonstrate impacts using Cerium Oxide (CeO ) multi-wall carbon nanotube...

Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) processing involves the conversion of natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons that are widely used in chemical industry. In this process, Fischer–Tropsch (F-T) approach is utilized and, as a result, wastewater produced by-product. This commonly contains alcohols and acids contaminants. Prior discharge, treatment essential, biological common approach. However, not cost effective p...

This work deals with the Traffic State Estimation (TSE) problem for urban networks, using heterogeneous sources of data such as stationary flow sensors, Floating Car Data (FCD), and Automatic Vehicle Identifiers (AVI). A data-based density estimation method is presented tested real traffic data. presents a study case applied to downtown city Grenoble in France, Lab networks (GTL-Ville), which a...

The US DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) sequences microbial and metagenomic projects through three main programs: DOE Microbial Genome Program (MGP), JGI Community Sequencing Program (CSP) and DOE Genomes to Life Program (GTL). The principle goal of the MGP is to fund sequencing projects related to DOE interests, the principle goal of the CSP is to fund sequencing projects from a broad range of...
