Swamy, M. (author), van Lier, L.J. (author), Smeulers, J.P.M. (author)In one of the screw compressor system, designed silencer was not optimal. A great challenge was the large variation in operating conditions, especially the variation of the molecular weight of the gas. There was need to optimize the silencer. This paper describes the acoustic modelling tools to optimize the acoustic performance of the silencer....conference paper 2014

Bolourinejad, P. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P. (author), Herber, R. (author)In this study, a long-term (up to 1000 years) geochemical modelling of subsurface CO2 storage was carried out on sandstone reservoirs of depleted gas fields in northeast Netherlands. It was found that mineral dissolution/precipitation has only a minor effect on reservoir porosity. In order to validate this, we focused specifically on the...article 2014

Koenen, M. (author), Tambach, T.J. (author), Neele, F.P. (author)In most cases, CO2 captured from power plants or large industrial sources contains impurities. As purification of the stream is energy and cost intensive it is necessary to allow a certain level of impurities. The effects of impurities on (short- and long-term) geological storage are, however, uncertain. In this work, geochemical modelling with...conference paper 2011
