MIT has been developing a conceptual design for pebble bed reactors since approximately 1998, when a student design project concluded that in order to resurrect the nuclear power industry a new, innovative approach was needed, not only in reactor design but also in construction and operation. In their quest to identify the appropriate technology several key conclusions were reached. First was t...

Biogas is an alternative to gaseous biofuels and produced by the decomposition of biomass from substances such as animal waste, sewage sludge, industrial effluents. composed methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen. The anaerobic production biogas can be made cheaper designing a high throughput reactor operating procedures. parameters substrate type, particle size, ...

Abstract Bioenergy combustion with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a key technology to achieve carbon negative emissions power generation. This can be achieved by coupling the biofuels CO 2 capture storage (CCS). The lowest cost for CCS corresponds at moment Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) process. use which gaseous (biomethane, biogas or syngas etc.), liquid (biodiesel, bioethanol, bio...

An interesting problem in chemical reactor theory is finding bounds or targets on a given performance index in a reacting system. Moreover, performance of the reactor subsystem has a key impact on the design of other processing subsystems. It determines the recycle structure of the process, the separation sequence and has a strong influence on the energy and environmental considerations. Howeve...
