ABSTRACT Enzyme catalysis: Three dehydrogenases have been engineered to self-assemble into a hydrogel that supports a synthetic metabolic network. The new catalytic biomaterial was used as an anode modification in two enzymatic... more
"The purpose of this checklist is to identify the stages and potential problems associated with the scale up of fixed bed reactors from the drawing board to the full scale plant, and to determine how they should be checked. The... more
This guide covers the reaction kinetics and diffusional aspects of solid catalyzed reactions. It does not deal with either the fluid dynamics or the mechanical design of reactors for solid Catalyzed reactions. #Fundamentals; #New... more
Gravity drainage systems occur frequently on chemical plants. Typical examples are: (a) the condensate off-take from a condenser; (b) the liquid off-take from the base of an absorption column; (c) the emergency overflow from... more
This document is one of a series on fluid flow produced by GBH Enterprises. If a rapid change is made to the flowrate of a liquid in a piping system, for example by the operation of a valve, a transient pressure change will be... more

This guide provides a basic introduction to the theory of gas-liquid reactions. It deals with the microscopic scale phenomena of absorption, mass transfer and chemical reaction and indicates how these are integrated with fluid flow and... more
"When the catalyst chemistry of a new fixed feed chemical reaction has been developed, decisions need to be made about the catalyst design. The issues that need to be decided are: (a) The catalyst particle size. (b) The catalyst... more
"This guide sets out the key steps in the design of gas or liquid phase homogeneous reactors and suggests appropriate types of reactor according to the required residence time, flow pattern and heat transfer duty. A liquid phase... more
The need for reliable physical property data has long been recognized. In pre-computer days, this was in the form of tabulations and graphs. Computers demanded that the form in which the data were supplied had to be adapted. This required... more
In this study, a novel continuous reactor has been developed to produce high quality methyl esters (biodiesel) from palm oil. A microporous TiO2/Al2O3 membrane was packed with potassium hydroxide catalyst supported on palm shell activated... more
Among the most pressing energy and environmental strategic challenges today is to identify and deploy viable alternatives to fossil-fuel-based energy systems The barriers to deployment are systematic, leading to a state of affairs... more
The present study aimed to the investigation of the feasibility of the combined biohydrogen and biopolymers production from OMW (Olive oil Mill Wastewater), using a two stage system. H2 and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were produced via... more
A B S T R A C T The integration of supercapacitors with enzymatic biofuel cells (BFCs) can be used to prepare hybrid devices in order to harvest significantly higher power output. In this study, a supercapacitor/biofuel cell hybrid device... more
Waste effluents from anaerobic digesters of agricultural waste were treated with a range of membranes including microfiltration and nanofiltration to concentrate volatile fatty acids. Microfiltration was applied successfully to produce... more
High quality palm oil biodiesel can be produced by combination of alkali transesterification and separation processes in a TiO2/Al 2O3 membrane reactor. Due to the small molecular size, methanol molecules are able to pass through the... more
Electricity generation in a duel chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) consisting of graphite anode electrode, platinum cathode electrode and Nafion 117 membrane was investigated. Anaerobic sludge was used as the source of microorganisms in... more
This Process Engineering Guide is one of a series of guides on non-Newtonian flow prepared for GBH Enterprises. Fluid flow in chemical plants is usually turbulent, and viscosities have to be high before laminar flow predominates. When... more
This Guide presents the basis for the prediction of flow rate - pressure drop relationships for the laminar flow of non-Newtonian fluid through circular pipes and selected fittings under isothermal conditions. In addition, the prediction... more
In this work, the ultrafiltration of macromolecules was analysed using a response surface methodological approach. The behaviour of two different inorganic membranes was investigated. The membranes selected were a Carbosep M2 membrane... more
Glucose substrates are successfully harnessed to generate electricity in a membraneless biofuel cell with a mesh network of carbon nanotubes pyroquinoline quinone glucose dehydrogenase-modified anode and a laccase-modified cathode. Using... more
