TransAlta Energy Corporation awarded contracts for two ST5 industrial steam turbines, to be incorporated into the existing energy services facility at the Fort McMurray oil-sands refinery, providing a substantial increase in cogeneration output and efficiency. The Millennium project was undertaken to facilitate a substantial increase in mining, extraction and upgrading...
The following document is a simplified ASME performance test procedure which Dresser-Rand believes is satisfactory for the majority of extraction condensing regenerative cycles. The instrumentation required for this test is much less costly, and fewer component readings are needed to obtain good results as compared to a full ASME PTC-6...
The macro-porous polymer extraction MPPE technology developed in the early 1990s by Akzo Nobel removes dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbons. This article describes the application of the MPPE in the offshore exploration. The MPPE technology has been, for offshore gas/condensate, proven and commercially operational since the beginning of 2002 (Total F15A).
This work focuses on a non-destructive process for recovering valuable aromatic fractions from odorous industry aqueous effluent. Non-dispersive extraction of ten selected aroma compound was carried out on much diluted model aqueous solutions, using membrane contactors, in two configurations: liquid-liquid and liquid-gas. Mass transfers from water to n-hexane, from water...
A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the performance of an integrated extraction-stripping process based on the use of hollow fiber contactors. The model allows one to predict the time-dependent concentration profiles of the two phases involved in an individual extraction or stripping process, or of the three phases...
