I am an assistant professor, working on CO2 capture and conversion technologies as well as gas hydrate production and inhibition. I obtained my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in chemical engineering (gas) from Persian Gulf University and the Shiraz University of Technology in Iran and moved to Malaysia in 2011 to complete my PhD study in Chemical Engineering at the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, working on CO2 separation by gas hydrate technology. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the CO2 Research Center (CO2RES) of PETRONAS University of Technology in Malaysia. During my time in Malaysia, I had played a key role in the research and development of CO2RES specifically in the field of gas hydrate and cryogenic studies for bulk CO2 separation from fuel and flue gases. Currently, I am working on Power to X technologies at Aarhus University.

A variety of methods should be used for that categorized as primary, secondary, and tertiary techniques. Tertiary methods known as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) have been applied mostly to maturing reservoirs. To implement more efficient EOR methods, new materials and technologies should be used. Ionic liquids (IL) were highly regarded for chemical EOR in the last decade until researchers raised concerns about their cost, and environmental impacts. Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) were discovered and known as a potential replacement for ILs due to their non-toxic nature, biodegradable, non-flammable nature, and cost. In this study, the effectiveness of DES is investigated by observing its ability to change Interfacial tension (IFT). The studies included the effects of pressure, temperature, salinity, and concentration. The optimum salinity point was obtained as 100000ppm and after that the effect was minimal. The IFT changes with pressure change were negligible, while temperature proved to be the most affecting parameter. Overall, the study suggests that IFT changes using DES in the chemical EOR method for light crudes will not be a limiting factor at reservoir conditions.

Therefore, utilization of renewable energy resources is inevitable. However, to develop the infrastructures for a renewable energy system for power generation, both technical and economical evaluations are a necessity. In this paper, the feasibility of a hybrid renewable power generation, including two types of solar system, a biogas generator, and a biodiesel generator along with required battery and converter for production of 5kW electrical power is studied. The system is designed for a 20year project and the HOMER Pro program is used for system evaluation. The analysis showed that the price of biodiesel and biogas were the main controlling parameters for this project.

However, the presence of oftentimes sizable Carbon Dioxide contents in the gas reservoir (can be up to 80% volumetric) introduced a huge technical and economic challenges towards the field exploitation. Over the last few years, several studies have been conducted on cryogenic technologies such as cryogenic distillation and supersonic nozzle in CO2 separation for fields containing more than 40% of CO2. Based on the studies, these new cryogenic technologies have shown to have high potential in separating CO2 from natural gas offshore to be utilized under carbon, capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) project. The new cryogenic technologies are currently being tested for the proof of concept. Hence, a pilot plant, which is a scaled down version of the technology was developed.

Application of gas hydrate in separation of carbon dioxide (CO 2) form nitrogen in Carbon Capture... more Application of gas hydrate in separation of carbon dioxide (CO 2) form nitrogen in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) chain is recently studied by many researchers. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is suggested as promoter for this process. The same process can be suggested for separation of CO 2 from methane (CH 4) for gas treatment and sweetening, especially for high CO 2 content mixtures such as landfill gas. The first step in development of such process is understanding of the phase boundary of this mixture at different pressure-temperature condition and gas/liquid composition. In this work, gas hydrate phase boundary of CH 4 , CO 2 , THF and water at different pressure from 4.5 to 8.1 MPa is experimentally measured. CO 2 mole fraction in gas phase is fixed at 0.7 and THF concentration in the liquid phase set at 0.03 mole fraction. Results show that presence of THF in the mixtures shift the phase boundary to the lower pressure / higher temperature condition. This effect is favorable for industrial applications.

Ionic liquids (IL) recently revealed as novel hydrate inhibitors due to their unique properties like electrostatic charges together with ability to form hydrogen bonding with water molecule lead them viable research area in the field of gas hydrate mitigation. This paper highlighted the experimental evaluation of thermodynamic measurements of tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) for Methane (CH4) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas hydrates. TMAOH belongs to ammonium based ionic liquids (AILs) which is comparatively economical ILs among the other ILs families. Traditional T-cycle technique with isochoric step heating method was adopted for determining thermodynamic inhibition in this work. Results reveal that TMAOH effectively shift the hydrate equilibrium curve to upper pressure and lesser temperature regions for CH4 + TMAOH + water system and CO2 + TMAOH + water system. The average reduced temperature obtained for CH4 + TMAOH + water system is around 1.06 oC while for CO2 + TMAOH + water system, the inhibition effect found to be around 2.09 oC. Therefore, this study provides road map for superior alternative for the development of novel thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor, which can efficiently control the gas hydrate formation.
