Schleijpen, R. (author), van Putten, F.J.M. (author)This paper presents experimental work on the use of a CO2 laser for triggering of PIR sensors. Pyro-electric InfraRed sensors are often used as motion detectors for detection of moving persons or objects that are warmer than their environment. Apart from uses in the civilian domain, also applications in improvised weapons have been encountered....conference paper 2016

Ramachandran, S.N. (author), Hommen, G. (author), Mentink, P. (author), Seykens, X. (author), Willems, F. (author), Kupper, F. (author)Heavy-duty diesel engines are used in a wide range of applications. For varying operating environments, the engine and aftertreatment system must comply with the real-world emission legislation limits. Simultaneously, minimal fuel consumption and good drivability are crucial for economic competitiveness and usability. Meeting these requirements...article 2016

Orlic, B. (author)In this paper, the geomechanical impact of large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in depleted Dutch gas fields is compared with the impact of CO2 storage in saline aquifers. The geomechanical behaviour of four potential CO2 storage sites is examined using flow and geomechanical simulations. Many gas reservoirs in the Netherlands are found in...article 2016

Tambach, T.J. (author), Koenen, M. (author), Wasch, L.J. (author), van Bergen, F. (author)The short- and long-term geochemical impact of CO2 injection into a depleted gas reservoir (DGR) is investigated using reservoir/geochemical modeling with TOUGH2/TOUGHREACT and 1D kinetic diffusion modeling with PHREEQC (caprock/well-cement). Simulations of CO2 injection into the reservoir predict displacement and buoyancy of post-production CH4...article 2015

(author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Solvent emissions from a Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCCC) process can lead to environmental hazards and higher operating cost. Aerosol based emissions in the order of grams per Nm3 have been reported from PCCC plants. These emissions are attributed to the presence of particles such as sulphuric acid aerosol droplets in the flue gas. Recently,...article 2015
