Industrial Flare Gas Recovery for Energy Generation

One of the major technologies for reducing the effects of green-house-gas emission from the environment involves the design of efficient recovery systems to capture and reuse industrial emissions. Flare Gas and other hydrocarbon-rich industrial waste are used in the production of hydrogen fuel through exergy-based membrane separation technology. Slip-flow irreversibility studies in microchannels, where certain aspects of fluid-solid interactions are dominant, have been undertaken. Further studies of three-dimensional numerical schemes to improve accuracy, stability and speed has enabled the development of a novel advection scheme and compressed data storage format. Integration of an affordable recovery system, by turning safe disposal into energy solution, that will fit existing client's operations is focussed. Few of relevant publications in this area include:
