Destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by thermal oxidation processes using solid catalysts

BACKGROUND Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent “forever chemicals” used in products like firefighting foams, textiles, and coatings, where strong C-F bonds make them resistant to breakdown and prone to long-term accumulation in water, soil and biota. Growing links to cancer, immune and developmental effects,...

Steam-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone Separator System

BACKGROUND For decades, the petroleum and brine industries have pushed for the development of a method to efficiently desalinate multiphase flow mixtures. Mixed fluids, like produced water (PW), could be broken down into usable gas, oil, and water for the purpose of processing, reusing, or safely disposing of the components. Existing technologies utilize...

INTegrated ACoustic Toolkit (INTACT)

BACKGROUND Historically, acoustic emissions (AE) have been used to determine critical failures in infrastructure such as cracks or faults. The frequency sent through the structure changes as faults occur in the structure due to cyclical stress. This allows sensors to register the change in frequency and categorize the change in a data log. Other sensors...
