Rodriguez-Illera, M. (author), Boon, M.A. (author), Boom, R.M. (author), Janssen, A.E.M. (author)We present guidelines for the configuration of industrial scale chromatographic separationof small molecules. We compared the performance of different axial packed beds, chan-neled monoliths and a continuous monolith assuming silica as base material.

(author)Uncertainties in upfront predictions of hydraulic fracturing and gas production of underexplored shale gas targets are important as often large potential resources are deduced based on limited available data. In this paper, uncertainties are quantified by using normal distributions of different input parameters in wellbased models for hydraulic...conference paper 2014

Wasch, L.J. (author), Wollenweber, J. (author), Tambach, T.J. (author)Well abandonment in the context of CO2 storage operations demands a mitigation strategy for CO2 leakage along the wellbore. To prevent possible CO2 transport toward the surface and to protect the wellbore material from contact with acid brine, we propose forming a salt seal around the wellbore at reservoir level, after CO2 injection into a...article 2013

Shahid, A.S. (author), Wassing, B.B.T. (author), Verga, F. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author)The economic production from shale gas reservoir depends on the success of hydraulic stimulation, which is aimed at the creation of a permeable complex fracture network. This is achieved by the reactivation of a natural fracture network; however, the reactivation may be accompanied by unwanted seismicity. Coupled modelling is required to...conference paper 2013

The research on fire spalling of concrete is currently lacking experimental information of the moisture transport processes. We present combined moisture content and temperature profiles of one-sided heated concrete samples...article 2012

Hanea, A. (author), Hanea, R. (author), Zilko, A. (author)The objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery. One of the most common and efficient recovery processes is water injection. The water is pumped into the reservoir in injection wells in order to push the oil trapped in the porous media towards the production wells. The movement of the water front depends on the...conference paper 2012

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Most QSARs for dermal absorption predict the permeability coefficient, K<sub>p</sub>, of a molecule, which is valid for infinite dose conditions. In practice, dermal exposure mostly occurs under finite dose conditions. Therefore, a simple model to predict finite dose dermal absorption from infinite dose data (K<sub>p</sub> and lag time) and the...article 2010

Chadwick, R.A. (author), Noy, D. (author), Arts, R. (author), Eiken, O. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Since its inception in 1996, the CO2 injection operation at Sleipner has been monitored by 3D time-lapse seismic surveys. Striking images of the CO2 plume have been obtained, showing a multi-tier feature of high reflectivity, interpreted as arising from a number of thin layers of CO2 trapped beneath thin, intra-reservoir mudstones. The topmost...article 2009
