Extensive research has gone into developing and modeling the three-way catalyst (TWC) to reduce the emissions of hydrocarbons, NOx and CO from gasoline-fueled engines level. However, much less has been done to model the use of the three-way catalyst to treat exhaust from natural gas-fueled engines. Our research address this gap in the literature by developing a detailed surface reaction mechanism for platinum based on elementary-step reactions. A reaction mechanism consisting of 24 species and 115 elementary reactions was constructed from literature values. All reaction parameters were used as found in the literature sources except for steps modified to improve the model fit to the experimental data. The TWC was simulated as a one-dimension, isothermal plug flow reactor (PFR) for the steady state condition and a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) for the dithering condition. This work describes a method to quantitatively simulate the natural gas engine TWC converter performance, providing a deep understanding of the surface chemistry in the converter. Due to the depletion of petroleum oil and recent volatility in price, synthesizing value-added chemicals from biomass-derived materials has attracted extensive attention. 1, 3-butadiene (BD), an important intermediate to produce rubber, is conventionally produced from petroleum. Recently, one potential route is to produce BD by dehydration of 2, 3-butanediol (BDO), which is produced at high yield from biomass. This reaction was studied over two commercial forms of alumina. Our results indicate acid/base properties greatly impact the BD selectivity. Trimethylamine can also modify the acid/base properties on alumina surface and affect the BD selectivity. Scandium oxide, acidic oxide or zirconia dual bed systems are also studied and our results show that acidic oxide used as the second bed catalyst can promote the formation of BD, while 2,5-dimethylphenol is found when the zirconia is used as the second bed catalyst which is due to the strong basic sites.

Full textNowadays renewable sources applications at offshore petroleum and natural gas production platform are based at experimental and particular cases. However, a structured design system can increase critical systems reliability and decrease pollutant emissions. Focuses at new developing production projects at Brazilian presalt petroleum fields, this work suggest a new methodology to valuate renewable source applications and solutions at offshore petroleum and natural gas production platform. Based at this purpose, a design project workflow and a multicriteria methodology were developed. Technical activities required to a suitable valuation and sequential steps are detailed at project workflow. The multicriteria methodology simulates values and feelings of designers, operators and technical maintenance about renewable source converters appliances features. This proposed methodology is applied at two specific cases, a fixed platform and FPSO platform. The second one represents physical characteristics of pre-salt production units as well environmental and geographic features of site location. The comparison of results indicates potential renewable energy flows to be harvested and the technologies of renewable sources with high attractiveness for this offshore application. Other conclusions are showed, as quantification of avoided carbonic gas emitted and green technologies that should be produced in Brazil.

A large number of national companies has been using diesel gensets as an alternative to the electricity supplied by the local utility. Therefore, generators are used as an emergency power system or during peak hours. Peak hour in Brazil is between 5 to 10 p. m. As we know diesel engines contribute to the large increase in environmental pollution, since the diesel exhaust may contain fine particles associated with negative health effect, toxic air contaminants, as NOx and SOx. On the other hand, Natural gas is considered as a suitable choice rather than the use of diesel, because it possesses high calorific power, clean burning, and proper octane level for Otto cycle engine. The present work deals with the performance analysis of a Perkins engine turbocharged, diesel, model 1104C-44TA, converted into an Otto cycle engine to run on natural gas, also identifying the limiting factors of power in these types of engines. Giving the importance of the compression rate on the Diesel to Otto cycle conversion, the evaluation of the Perkins processed engine happened under the influence of three different rates: 7.6:1; 8.7:1 and 12.3:1. For each compressed rate, and stoichiometric mixture, the task was to choose the spark advance to guarantee best performances to the engine. All tests were performed with a hydraulic dynamometer. The results showed that, the best combination of those parameters are not sufficient to ensure the highest performance of a diesel converted engine. There was a consubstantial rise in temperature of the exhaust gases and on the turbine walls, due to the increase in the exhaust gases volume, compared to that of the burnt gases withdrawn from the original engine, impairing the efficiency and lifespan of the engine components. It was found, by energetic analysis, the compression ratio of 8.7:1, was the most efficient, among the other two, assuring the engine its best performance. As expected, at the compression rate of 7.6:1 the exhaust gases presented the highest temperatures. At compression ratio of 12.3:1 the gas emissions of the converted engine delivered highest NOx level and the lowest level of unburned hydrocarbons at the exhaust.

Um grande número de empresas nacionais faz uso de grupos geradores a diesel como opção à eletricidade fornecida pela concessionária local. O emprego de grupos geradores é comum durante as horas de pico, que no Brasil, ocorrem entre as 17 e 22 h. Tais aparatos, juntamente com os motores veiculares a diesel têm contribuído para o grande aumento da poluição ambiental, uma vez que a queima deste combustível se faz com grande emissão de particulados, de NOx e de SOx. O gás natural é considerado uma alternativa ao uso do diesel por possuir um alto poder calorífico, queima limpa, e adequada octanagem para o ciclo Otto. O presente trabalho trata da análise de desempenho de um motor Perkins turboalimentado, a diesel, modelo 1104C-44TA, convertido para funcionar apenas com gás natural, identificando ainda, os fatores limitadores de potência nestes tipos de motores. Considerando a importância da taxa de compressão no processo de ottolização, o motor convertido foi avaliado sob a influência de três diferentes taxas: 7,6:1; 8,7:1 e 12,3:1. Para tanto, foram selecionados avanços de ignição que ao interagir com a mistura próxima da estequiométrica garantisse ao funcionamento do motor as melhores condições de desempenho, para cada taxa de compressão escolhida. Os ensaios foram feitos com o auxílio de um dinamômetro hidráulico e os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que, na prática, tais parâmetros não são suficientes para se assegurar os melhores desempenhos em um motor diesel ottolizado. Foi observado um aumento consubstancial na temperatura dos gases de exaustão e na turbina, em virtude da ampliação do volume dos gases de escapamento com relação àquele observado no motor original, com prejuízos para a eficiência e a própria vida útil do motor. Verificou-se, através das análises energéticas, que a taxa de compressão de 8,7:1 permitiu ao motor seu melhor desempenho, com relação à outras experimentadas. Como esperado, o motor operando na taxa de 7,6:1 produziu as mais elevadas temperaturas dos gases de exaustão. Com respeito às emissões gasosas, o motor convertido com taxa de compressão de 12,3:1 emitiu o maior nível de NOx e o menor nível de hidrocarbonetos não queimados

Full textThe search for alternative energy sources aiming the substitution of derivate Oil products is each time higher, especially after the 70s Petroleum crisis. The automotive industry follows this trend too, looking for possible alternatives in face of the uncertainness of time and quantity available stocks of liquid fossil fuels. Besides the Ethanol as a way of Gasohol and Diesel substitution, the CNG - Compressed Natural Gas - use is nowadays considered one of the most possible and efficient technologies. According to the ANP - National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency (2006), Brazil owns 306,4 x 109 m3 of Compressed Natural Gas proved reserves, which are considered enough to supply the national market, in the worst case, for the next fifty years. The conjunction of these issues results in the Brazilian customers search for the each higher fuel expenses reduction and the raise of Compressed Natural Gas impelled vehicles demand. Despite the notorious market demand, there are nowadays on Brazil only a few options of light vehicles with Conversion System originally installed by automotive assemblers and warrantys maintenance. This lack of supply options creates a large field to the raise in the quantity of conversion workshops, frequently ignoring the technical aspects and the conversion legislation only with intent of achieving profit with the demand raise. More than pretentious definitive conclusions, the present work aims to offer a small contribution to the industry and society through the technical, economical, environmental and merchandizing practicability analysis of original assemblers installation of Conversion System to the use of Compressed Natural Gas in Gasohol and / or Ethanol impelled light vehicles, in face of the actual converted vehicles market and the demand raise for alternative energy sources.

Full textA variety of technical applications in energy conversion are based on turbulent combustion. Despite the advanced contest of operation, (turbulent) combustion science is at a relatively young stage. Detailed investigations of benchmark flames are essential to achieve a better understanding of the physics behind the mentioned processes, as well as to provide reliable database for validating numerical models developed to simulate turbulent combustion problems. Raman/Rayleigh spectroscopy is a highly valuable technique which allows to access simultaneous information on temperature and main chemical species concentration within the flame structures. The data reduction strategy applied with this technique is crucial, in order to extract reliable information from the experimental investigations. In this this thesis, a modified version of the strategy, based on the Hybrid Method by Fuest et al., has been developed and tested using NLP problem solving techniques, including global optimization methods and a genetic algorithm. The proposed strategy allows for a significant reduction of the data processing time, requires less user’s expertise and returns better results in reduced measurements error. The modified routine has been applied to data set provided by an experimental investigation of two turbulent premixed methane/air jet flames belonging to the flamelet regime of turbulent premixed combustion. The data set is composed by multiple scalars, including major species and temperature, simultaneously measured with single-shot 1D Raman/Rayleigh spectroscopy. The results of the measurements are analyzed and discussed

Full textWith the Brazilian importation of natural gas from Bolívia, it will be feasible a considerable increase in the consumption of this fuel in the Great São Paulo Area. Recent evaluations concluded by the feasibility of the industrial demand of natural gas in this area, higger than 6 million m3/day on year 2000 , more than two times the current consumption. In this work we carried out an evaluation , from the demand point of view, of the environmental impact due to fuel substitution and natural gas market increase. Also the investigation related to possible changes in energy efficiency of industrial sectors converted to natural gas users is developped here. The largest share of this natural gas will be utilised in the substituition of fuel oil (50%), increase on natural gas utilisation (40%), as well as replacement of eletricity (7,3%) and biomass (2,7%). Based in the available air quality data for this urban area, in the replacement of other fuels, and the acceptable emissions coefficients, we present a balance of the final situation. For the evaluation of energy efficiency , a direct investigation about the change in consumption at industries already converted to natural gas was performed. The study indicates a scenario where considerable reduction on industrial emissions of sulfur oxides (94%), a significant reduction of carbonic dioxide (13,4%), a modest reduction on particulates (7,6%) and carbon monoxide (4%), and a considerable reduction too on nitrogen oxides (13,7%). Our investigation indicated the possibility of reduction on the energy comsumption , of the industrial sectors investigated and clear earnings on operation and maintenance of industrial instalations converted to natural gas.

Produção de hidrogênio de elevadas purezas e coprodutos têm sido objeto de desenvolvimentos de tecnologias usando o gás natural como matéria-prima com processamento catalítico como a desidroaromatização (DAM) associada à reforma seca (RSM) em um leito duplo com ocorrência de coprodutos em condições não oxidativas. As produções de hidrogênio previstas objetivam a utilização do monóxido de carbono de efluentes de reformas do gás natural, via reação water gas shift (WGS) e o desenvolvimento de catalisadores avançados de metais preciosos em fases dispersas sobre um suporte. Como objetivo desta pesquisa pode-se citar: i) Desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia usando o gás natural como matéria-prima para produção de hidrogênio de alta pureza, e coprodutos tais como gás de síntese e acetileno como intermediários para formulação de aromáticos, principalmente o benzeno, via desidroaromatização e a reforma seca, em condições não oxidativas, com utilização de reator de leito fixo. ii) Desenvolvimento de novos catalisadores de Pt e Au (formulação e caracterização) e o estudo detalhado dos parâmetros cinéticos, mecanisticos e em diversos suportes e seus efeitos para reação de WGS. Operações de processamento do metano em reator de leito fixo nas condições: 525°C, 550°C, 575°C, 1 atm, 155-180 cm3/min, fração molar Ar :CH4, 0,5:0,5 de metano e argônio para DAM e relação molar Ar :CH4:CO2, 0,57:0,27:0,16 para DAM/RSM. As operações em reator de leito fixo na presença da mistura dos catalisadores (2,60%)Mo-(0,5%)Ru/HZSM e (11,23%)Ni/ -Al2O3, como resultado principal apresentaram uma acentuada produção de acetileno (42,91%) e moderadas produções de hidrogênio e monóxido de carbono (16%-56% H2 e 1,45% CO, 575°C). No processo catalítico de WGS foram estudados catalisadores de platina e ouro em baixas temperaturas (120°C – 300°C) para manter a conversão total de CO nas condições diferenciais abaixo de 10%. O fluxo total de entrada foi mantido constante com uma composição padrão de gás de 6,8% CO, 8,5% CO2, 21,9% H2O e 37,4% H2. A temperatura foi variada numa faixa entre 20° e 30°C, para determinação da energia de ativação aparente. Aplicações de metodologia da cinética de processos catalíticos permitiram estimar valores de baixas energias de ativação (catalisador Pt: 53 kJ/mol – 63 kJ/mol; catalisador Au:11 kJ/mol –95 kJ/mol), os quais confirmaram os bons níveis de atividade dos catalisadores formulados para o processo WGS, com destaque para os catalisadores 2%Pt/TiO2, 2%Au/ZrO2 e 2%Au/TiO2.

This work presents theoretical and experimental study of a system of control for a steam generator. This system was developed to control the crystallization of a cooling system for absorption. The control system maintains the pressure generator above the zone of crystallization of diagram temperature pressure-saturated solution concentration of LiBr-water. The control is accomplished through simultaneous use of the relay and the frequency converter. The frequency converter acts in engine speed of pump firing of condenser cooling tower, while the relay operates directly into the burner of the generator, consecutively in thermal power of combustion. The control system can act in any pressure reference values above the zone of crystallization of absorption cooling system. In the control flow control techniques were used and fuzzy Modeling and control power thermal combustion, on-off control. Ten different experiments were conducted, which proved the efficiency of the system of control.

Full textCitizen participation in infrastructure investment projects has been on the rise in recent years. Since 2016, the review and approval of management instruments that make the execution of these projects possible has been conducted by SENACE. According to the 2017 Annual Report of SENACE, in that year this agency received 476 records for evaluation, 60 of them corresponded to the Electricity Sector. SENACE evaluated 413 projects, approving 268 of them, disapproving 29 and referring the remaining ones to other resolution channels. 18 Environmental Impact Assessment studies and Modifications of Environmental Impact Assessments Studies were approved during the period. SENACE representatives participated and directed 231 citizen participation events, workshops and public hearings. This thesis researches the process of citizen participation, focusing on the case of the Ventanilla Thermoelectric Plant project, carried out between 2017 and 2018. ENEL is the company in charge of the project. This process comprehended the implementation of mandatory and complementary participatory mechanisms with population of the area of influence. The goal of this research is to identify the issues and processes that influenced the implementation of the Citizen Participation Plan of the mentioned project, in the 2017 – 2018 period. Our main research questions are: How do the mechanisms of the Citizen Participation Plan generate interest in the right holders? To what extent do the mechanisms of the Citizen Participation Plan respond to the needs and expectations of the right holders? How do human, technical and material resources contribute to achieving the goals of the Citizen Participation Plan? In order to absolve these questions, we used a mixed methodology. We reviewed secondary available information and gathered primary information from key stakeholders as the social specialist from the consultancy company in charge of the participatory process and from 23 rights holders from the localities of the area of influence of the project. The main results of the research are the following: i) citizen participatory mechanisms generate interest in the key stakeholders, such as the localities representatives, because they have been involved in meetings and consultancy since the very beginning of design of the participatory process. ii) The perception of a great number of right holders was that the participatory mechanisms took in account their needs and expectations, and that they received information about the project activities, its impacts and the management plan to reduce them and to ensure that local labor will be hired. Most of them could ask any question, but some of them, especially women, referring a lack of self-confidence. iii) The most important resources that contributed to a better understanding of the project, were the human ones. The kindness and good manners of the representatives of SENACE, ENEL, and the environmental consultancy company, who made the exposition and answers the questions, were highlighted by the users of right as the most important factor to understand the project.

Full text[ES] En esta tesis doctoral se presenta el estudio llevado a cabo sobre catalizadores Mo/zeolita en la reacción de deshidroaromatización de metano (MDA) con la intención de contribuir a esta aproximación técnica hacia la valorización de dicho reactante. Como se observa de la información aportada en el capítulo de introducción, el metano (componente principal de los yacimientos de gas natural, pero también presente en aquellos de petróleo y carbón) se postula, en un futuro próximo, como fuente alternativa al petróleo en la obtención de hidrocarburos primarios para la industria petroquímica. Teniendo en cuenta el estado del arte previo al inicio de esta tesis, se planteó el desarrollo de un conjunto de estudios dirigidos a superar y mejorar algunas de las dificultades a las que la literatura hacía referencia. En este sentido, se orientó el trabajo a paliar los procesos causantes de la acumulación de coque sobre los centros ácidos zeolíticos y, así, poder reducir las elevadas tasas de desactivación registradas sobre los catalizadores habitualmente empleados en esta reacción. Brevemente, se diseñó el control de la densidad de centros ácidos zeolíticos (concretamente, el exceso de aquellos de tipo Brønsted) desde distintos enfoques: la reducción/eliminación de un posible exceso por métodos de desaluminización (capítulo 5), su reducción mediante intercambio selectivo de la zeolita con cationes mono y divalentes (capítulo 6) y su reducción mediante el uso de una zeolita ZSM-5 con mesoporos (capítulo 7). Por último, en vista de los resultados obtenidos en el capítulo 7, se consideró relevante analizar el efecto que zeolitas con cavidades o intersecciones de grandes dimensiones podrían tener en la tendencia a acumular coque, apoyando los datos obtenidos a este respecto con estudios de modelización molecular (capítulo 8). Finalmente, esta tesis incorpora unas conclusiones generales referidas al propio trabajo presentado y, también, orientadas al futuro del proceso de MDA.

Tenint en compte l'estat de l'art previ a l'inici d'aquesta tesi, es va plantejar el desenvolupament d'un conjunt d'estudis dirigits a superar i millorar algunes de les dificultats a les quals la literatura feia referència. En aquest sentit, es va orientar el treball a pal·liar els processos causants de l'acumulació de coc sobre el centres ácids zeolítics i, així, poder reduir les elevades taxes de desactivació registrades sobre els catalitzadors habitualmente emprats en aquesta reacció. Breument, es va dissenyar el control de la densitat de centres àcids zeolítics (concretament, l'excés d'aquells de tipus Brønsted) des de distints enfocaments: la reducció/eliminació d'aquest possible excés per métodes de desaluminització (capítol 5), la seua reducció mitjançant intercanvi selectiu de la zeolita amb cations mono- i divalents (capítol 6) i la seua reducció mitjançant l'ús d'una zeolita ZSM-5 amb mesoporus (capítol 7). A partir dels resultats obtinguts en el capítol 7, es va considerar rellevant analitzar l'efecte que zeolites amb cavitats o interseccions de grans dimensions podrien tenir en la tendència a acumular coc, recolzant les dades obtingudes a este respecte amb estudis de modelització molecular (capítol 8). Finalment, aquesta tesi incorpora unes conclusions generals referides al propi treball presentat i, també, orientades al futur del procés de MDA.

Natural gas combined cycle power generation is one of the current power generation mainstream, but there are still higher fuel costs, nitrogen oxides emission reduction and other issues. The practical aspect of use the air-fuel ratio (AFR) method to derive the combustion flame temperature and that can be calculated as the function of gas turbine inlet temperature and thermal efficiency. In addition, we also compare with power output conversion thermal efficiency method. They can be correlated with the equipment performance and as a diagnostic method. In this thesis, the application of thermodynamics principle to the first law of thermal balance, the second law entropy increase theorem and natural gas components after combustion of flue gas emissions from excess oxygen are adopted to calculate the air-fuel ratio(AFR) and used to chemical equilibrium reaction derived gas turbine inlet temperature(TIT), combined with the operation example of the gas turbine thermal cycle, to calculate the Brayton cycle efficiency of the gas turbine and to evaluate the performance of the equipment. At the same time, the air-fuel ratio is calculated as a function of the combustion flame temperature, to provide the application of the calculation model and the relationship between nitrogen oxide emissions and AFR adjustment is proposed. Experimental results showed that 501F type GT AFR(kg) is about 46 and 501G GT is about 42 when the gas turbine thermal efficiency is the optimal. And the promotion of fuel and combustion air temperature on the thermal efficiency and nitrogen oxide emission concentration is very promising, and enhancement of the combustion air temperature function has greater impact than that of the fuel temperature. The maximum flame temperature of the combustor is calculated by using the AFR as a function of TIT to further evaluate the working capacity of the gas turbine, and it is highly accurate (favorable) to compare with the actual power output efficiency of the gas turbine. Furthermore, TIT can be used as the diagnostic tool for the early monitoring of defective components or assembly of the power plant.

Recently, the Environmental Protection Administration of Taiwan has strengthened the regulation on air pollution emissions of stationary source, 100 mg/Nm3, to improve environmental quality. Under the current strengthened emission regulation, industries which employ heavy oil boiler will have biggest impact since most of these factories do not install any air pollution prevention and control equipment. In this study, four heavy oil boilers in different factories with installment of particulate pollutants collector including cyclone separator, scrubber and bag filter, and additional three heavy oil boilers being converted to natural gas boiler were selected for cost-benefit analysis, assessment of pollution reduction and difference on air pollution charges. Furthermore, in the case of Nantou county, the benefit of reduction as the heavy oil boilers being substituted for natural gas boilers was studied as well. Results indicate that the small-scale heavy oil boiler with cyclone separator, scrubber and bag filter or natural gas boiler are all possible control technology for particulate pollutant control. Among these, bag filter and natural gas boiler were confirmed to be the best available control technology. Without considering the fuel cost, heavy oil boiler installed with cyclone separator will produce highest operational cost and the lowest operational cost is from cyclone separator and bag filter installed in series. However, when fuel cost was considered, the natural gas boiler has the highest cost for dealing with particulate removal per kilogram. In the case of Nantou county, if all the heavy oil boilers are being substituted by natural gas boilers, particulate pollutant contributed by manufacturing industry could reduce about 4%, the emission of SOx could reduce about 57.8%, NOx could reduce about 35.7%, VOCs could reduce about 0.1%. Although the replacement of natural gas boilers could potentially increase the fuel cost, it (1) does not have secondary pollution, (2) could fit under BACT, (3) has noticeable pollutant reduction, (4) has less impact from strengthened regulation, also (5) could lower air pollution control fee. In conclusion, natural gas boiler should have the highest installment priority in related factory.

Full textSyngas produced through the thermal gasification of biomass for energy recovery has received increased attention in the past decades due to its higher efficiency compared to other bioenergy processes. The gas components of syngas, CO and H2, can serve as substrates for the conversion of desirable chemicals and fuels, namely methane, by a wide range of microorganisms. Meanwhile, anaerobic wastewater-treating sludges have been reported as good sources of carboxidotrophic microorganisms which can be exploited for methane production. Thus it is important to investigate existing methanogenic consortiums which, in syntrophy, are able to convert syngas into useful fuels. This study is mainly focused on the assessment of the carboxidotrophic methanogenic potential present in a natural consortium of microorganisms from a UASB reactor and the identification of CO conversion routes to methane under mesophilic temperatures. To achieve this, a series of kinetic-activity tests with the anaerobic sludge were performed under CO partial pressures varying from 0.1 to 1.65 atm (0.09-1.31 mmol/L) in both the presence and absence of specific metabolic inhibitors. The non-adapted sludge presented an interesting carboxidotrophic activity potential for growing conditions on CO alone. Inhibition experiments with 2- bromoethanesulfonic acid (BES) and vancomycin showed that CO was converted mainly to acetate by acetogenic bacteria, which was further transformed to methane by acetoclastic methanogens. Moreover, it was possible to achieve higher methanogenic potential under 100% CO by acclimation of the sludge. This adaptation led to a shift in the microbial population predominated by hydrogenophilic methanogens. This suggests a possible enrichment potential with anaerobic biofilms for large scale methane production from CO-rich syngas, and further advances the knowledge base for anaerobic reactor development.
