Analysis of the anthropogenic effect on River in Salvador Escalante, Michoacán, México.

The average annual water availability worldwide is approximately 1,386 trillion cubic hectometers (hm), of which 97.5% is saltwater and only 2.5% is freshwater.

Data for the simulation of different CO utilization processes.

The simulation of chemical processes is a useful tool that provides valuable information and data for process analysis. The obtained data from simulations could be used later in optimization, economic, environmental, energetic, exergetic and different kind of analysis. In this work, it is presented the data that serves as basis for the simulation of different chemical process that use CO as a raw material, to produce some value-added chemicals and fuels.

Environmental and energetic analysis of coupling a biogas combined cycle power plant with carbon capture, organic Rankine cycles and CO utilization processes.

Greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that use fossil fuels cause a serious impact to the environment, for this reason the use of renewable energy technologies is an important alternative as a way of combatting climate change. The production of power via biomass is considered as a carbon neutral energy resource, but it is well known that the non-fossil CO emitted from this type of processes can also be captured. In order to do so, in this work it is proposed a match between a Biogas combined cycle power plant and postcombustion carbon capture process, to capture the CO produced by the biogas combustion, and also it considered a match with an organic Rankine cycle that uses the wasted energy of the combustion gases.

Thermal integration of different compression-train configurations for coal-fired power plant with carbon capture.

Different compression-train configurations in a coal-fired power plant with CO capture were thermally integrated to reduce the energetic impact of the capture process and global warming potential for the life cycle of the power plant and the production of the absorbent. The thermal integration was performed using formal optimization techniques, with consideration given to all the available streams for the different compression-train configurations. The different compression-train configurations produced different temperature levels in the process streams and different heat exchanger networks, which included the power plant, compression train, and waste energy recovery technologies, such as organic Rankine cycles.
