Microwave pyrolysis of olive pomace for bio-oil and bio-char production (2019)
Journal Article
Williams, O. S., Kostas, E. T., Durán-Jiménez, G., Shepherd, B. J., Meredith, W., Stevens, L. A., …Lye, G. J. (2020). Microwave pyrolysis of olive pomace for bio-oil and bio-char production. Chemical Engineering Journal, 387, Article 123404. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2019.123404

Olive pomace is a widely available agro-industrial waste residue in Europe that has the potential to contribute towards a circular, low carbon bio-economy. This study demonstrated, for the first time, the ability to successfully pyrolyse olive pomace... Read More about Microwave pyrolysis of olive pomace for bio-oil and bio-char production.

Shale gas reserve evaluation by laboratory pyrolysis and gas holding capacity consistent with field data (2019)
Journal Article
Whitelaw, P., Uguna, C. N., Stevens, L. A., Meredith, W., Snape, C. E., Vane, C. H., …Carr, A. D. (2019). Shale gas reserve evaluation by laboratory pyrolysis and gas holding capacity consistent with field data. Nature Communications, 10(1), Article 3659. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11653-4

Exploration for shale gas occurs in onshore basins, with two approaches used to predict the maximum gas in place (GIP) in the absence of production data. The first estimates adsorbed plus free gas held within pore space, and the second measures gas y...

Selective low temperature chemical looping combustion of higher alkanes with Cu- and Mn- oxides (2019)
Journal Article
Güleç, F., Meredith, W., Sun, C., & Snape, C. E. (2019). Selective low temperature chemical looping combustion of higher alkanes with Cu- and Mn- oxides. Energy, 173, 658-666. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2019.02.099

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) of n-hexadecane and n-heptane with copper and manganese oxides (CuO and Mn2O3) has been investigated in a fixed bed reactor to reveal the extent to which low temperature CLC can potentially be applicable to hydrocarb...

A novel approach to CO2 capture in Fluid Catalytic Cracking-Chemical Looping Combustion (2019)
Journal Article
Güleç, F., Meredith, W., Sun, C., & Snape, C. E. (2019). A novel approach to CO2 capture in Fluid Catalytic Cracking-Chemical Looping Combustion. Fuel, 244, 140-150. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2019.01.168

Oil refineries collectively account for about 4–6% of global CO2 emissions and Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are responsible for roughly 25% of these. Although post-combustion and oxy-combustion have been suggested to capture CO2 released from...

Formation of bitumen in the Elgin/Franklin complex, Central Graben, North Sea: Implications for hydrocarbon charging (2019)
Journal Article
Meredith, W., Uguna, C. N., Snape, C. E., Carr, A. D., & Scotchman, I. C. (2019). Formation of bitumen in the Elgin/Franklin complex, Central Graben, North Sea: Implications for hydrocarbon charging. Geological Society Special Publications, 484, SP484-2017-344. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp484-2017-344

The Elgin/Franklin complex contains gas condensates in Upper Jurassic reservoirs in the North Sea Central Graben. Upper parts of the reservoirs contain bitumens, which previous studies have suggested were formed by the thermal cracking of oil as the...
