Modeling of solids particle diversion to promote uniform growth of multiple hydraulic fractures

Guanyi Lu

Solid particulate additives are sometimes used to promote the uniform growth of multiple hydraulic fractures in horizontal oil and gas wells. The principle is that solid particulates block, accumulate, and form larger porous plugging zones preferentially a ...

HCN production from formaldehyde during the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 over V2O5/WO3-TiO2

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

Raw exhaust gases may contain notable levels of formaldehyde that can negatively impact the efficiency of after -treatment systems. In the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx over V2O5/WO3-TiO2, formaldehyde was found to react with NH3 to produce HC ...

Flexible application of biogas upgrading membranes for hydrogen recycle in power-to-methane processes

Oliver Kröcher, Andreas Gantenbein

Direct methanation of biogas converts the CO2 in raw-biogas to methane, enabling higher methane yield and an elelctricity storage option via Power-to-Gas. As the thermodynamic equilibrium limits the methane yield, unreacted hydrogen has to be removed and r ...

Temporary pause in the growth of atmospheric ethane and propane in 2015–2018

Hélène Paule Angot, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

Atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) play an important role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols and ozone. After a multidecadal global decline in atmospheric mole fractions of ethane and propane – the most abundant atmospheric NMHCs – pr ...
