My research program will attempt to provide necessary information for the design of safe, economical, and environmentally acceptable processes and facilities to deal with hydrate-forming systems and for the exploitation of in-situ methane hydrate as a future energy resource. The outcome of such work can lead to the development of technologies related to the recovery of natural gas, the storage and transportation of natural gas and hydrogen for the energy sector and the capture of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide to improve atmospheric air quality. The research projects can be broken down into:
- Phase Equilibria
- Crystal Morphology
- Methane Transport & Storage
- Modelling
- Kinetics of crystal growth
|
- Carbon dioxide capture
- Water purification
- Hydrogen Storage
- Oil and Gas Flow Assurance
