Adsorption studies for the separation of light hydrocarbons.
(2014)Traditionally, the separation of ethylene from ethane is undertaken using a fractionation sequence. The distillation is performed at low temperatures and elevated pressures in conventional trayed fractionators. For economic ... -
The anaerobic baffled reactor for sanitation in dense peri-urban settlements.
(2005)Human consumption of water contaminated with faecal polIutants is the source of most sanitation related diseases. Excreta related diseases can be controlIed by improvements in excreta disposal. The primary consideration ... -
Analysis and experimental exploration of a nanofiltration membrane system, in the context of potential urine treatment processes.
(2014)Abstract available in pdf file. -
Analysis of a pilot-scale anaerobic baffled reactor treating domestic wastewater.
(2009)This thesis presents a chemical, microbiological and mathematical analysis of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) treating domestic wastewater. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the mechanisms of ... -
Analysis of an anaerobic baffled reactor treating complex particulate wastewater in an abr-membrane bioreactor unit.
(2010)Providing water and proper sanitation to poor communities by 2015 is one of the United Nations targets for this millennium. In South Africa many communities aspire to waterborne sanitation. However, there is a technology ... -
Analysis of non-Newtonian behavior of crude oil: experimental study annumerical modeling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique.
(2020)Abstract available in the PDF. -
Analysis of nutrient requirements for the anaerobic digestion of Fischer-Tropsch reaction water.
(2013)Nutrients play an important role in the functioning of microorganisms during anaerobic digestion. The anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewaters, such as Fischer-Tropsch Reaction Water (FTRW), requires the addition of ... -
Application of a non-linear transformation to the surface fraction of the UNIQUAC model and the performance analysis of the subsequent model (FlexQUAC-Q).
(2007)GE-model and equations of state are used to describe and predict phase equilibria. Current models have varying capabilities and some display selectivity for certain special mixtures. While many models are superior to others ... -
Application of artificial neural networks as a predictive tool for the analysis of chemical engineering processes.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Application of gas hydrates in cold storage technology : experimental study and thermodynamic modeling.
(2015)The ever-increasing demands for air conditioning technology especially in residential areas results in a severe imbalance between power generating utilities, especially during peak usage hours. To provide the required peak ... -
Application of membrane filtration in system closure of white water systems in newsprint mills.
(2015)The pulp and paper industry is considered to be one of the most water intensive industries in S.A. With increasing environmental regulations and awareness the industry is leaning towards system closure. By recycling water ... -
The application of non-thermal plasma-catalysis in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis at high pressure.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Application of pinch technology in an integrated pulp and paper mill.
(2003)The objective of this investigation was to utilise water pinch analysis as a tool for the optimisation of fresh water use in an integrated pulp and paper mill. The investigation was carried out at Mondi Paper in Merebank, ... -
The application of water pinch analysis at AECI bioproducts.
(2002)AECI Bioproducts (Bioproducts) is part of an industrial complex located at Umbogintwini, approximately 26 km south of Durban, Kwazulu-Natal. This system was selected for water pinch investigation, as it is one of the major ... -
Application of water pinch to an integrated pulp and paper Kraft mill with an already highly closed water system.
(2009)Sappi's Ngodwana integrated Kraft pulp and paper mill was used as case study for the application and evaluation of the water pinch technique. The technique of water pinch originates from energy pinch, but uses mass flow ... -
Applications of fluorocarbons for supercritical extraction in the petroleum industry.
(2016)The majority of supercritical processes utilise carbon dioxide (CO2) as the principal solvent, because CO2 has many attributes that make it an ideal supercritical fluid (SCF) solvent. This study investigates the possibility ... -
Applied Process Control : errata.
(Wiley-VCH., 2016)“This document will be updated periodically to list errors discovered in the two books of Michael Mulholland entitled: “Applied process control : essential methods” and “Applied process control : efficient problem solving”. -
Applied process control : simulations.
(2015-12-09)A number of interactive simulations are provided which explore some of the techniques presented in Applied Process Control – Essential Methods, and Applied Process Control – Efficient Problem Solving. The applications arise ... -
Assessing the treatability of textile effluents in an activated sludge system.
(2014)Assessing the treatability of a textile effluent through the activated sludge process required the development of analytical protocols and evaluating their suitability in providing receiving municipal wastewater treatment ... -
Automation of a static-synthetic apparatus for vapour-liquid equilibrium measurement.
(2012)The measurement of vapour-liquid equilibrium data is extremely important as such data are crucial for the accurate design, simulation and optimization of the majority of separation processes, including distillation, ...
