Simulation of Bioreactors for PHB Production from Natural Gas

Recently, many economic studies of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) PHB production on an industrial scale, and the impact of replacing petrochemical polymers by PHB were carried out, clearly indicating that the most crucial factors to reduce the cost of producing biopolymers are allotted to the application of microbial production strains capable of high productivi...

Selecting Optimal Acid Gas Enrichment Configuration For Khangiran Natural Gas Refinery

  Performance and capacity of sulfur recovery unit (SRU) are greatly affected by the H2S:CO2 ratio of the acid gas stream. The acid gases in Iran contain around 35 mol% H2S and 60 mol% CO2. This low concentration of H2S calls for more complex sulfur plant, larger equipments, and higher costs. Acid gas enrichment processes (AGE) is run to upgrade low quality acid gas collected from gas treating...

Investigation of CO2 and H2O Addition to Natural Gas for Production of Synthesis Gas

General modeling and optimization of syngas production via noncatalytic autothermal partial oxidation of methane are carried out using our developed scientific software which was based on the minimization of total Gibbs energy. In this work, a novel application of the direct search and Newton-Raphson methods was introduced to apply to optimization of a complex chemical reaction. Sensitivity ana...
