Removal of H₂S, NH₃, and tars from the producer gas of biomass gasification by secondary measures.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
The combination of biomass gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a promising technology for converting biomass to “green” liquid fuel. However, the clean-up process of removing tars, H2S, NH3, and the other ...
Turbulent transport near the wall in newtonian and non-newtonian pipe flow
(University of Canterbury. Chemical Engineering, 1992)
Turbulence is present everywhere in our environment yet its complexities remain one of the great challenges in scientific and engineering research. This work began out of personal interest. As such, it involved all aspects ...
The development of a vibrating wire viscometer and a microwave cavity resonator for the measurement of viscosity, dew points, density, and liquid volume fraction at high temperature and pressure.
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2005)
This thesis describes the development and testing of two apparatuses; a vibrating wire viscometer to measure the viscosity of fluids over a wide range of temperature and pressure; and a microwave cavity resonator to measure ...
Investigations on Wood Stability and Related Properties of Radiata Pine
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2007)
Previous studies on wood instability have identified some wood basic properties which influence the timber distortion and shape changes while the wood is losing or gaining moisture. These properties include wood anisotropic ...
New Automated Industrial Technologies for Improving Chemical Penetration of Bovine Pieces in the Raw Material Processing and Conditioning Areas of Gelatine Manufacture
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2005)
The production of gelatine at Gelita N.Z. Ltd. is a time consuming process. The time limiting step in the process is the pre-treatment of the collagen tissue of the raw material in a lime/sodium sulfide solution. The liming ...
Colour development in Pinus radiata D. Don. under kiln-drying conditions.
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2002)
This study quantifies discolouration on the surface of Pinus radiata boards during kiln drying, particularly kiln brown stain (KBS), and models it as a function of chemical compounds present in the wood closest to the ...
Biomass Gasification: Fast Internal Circulating Fluidised Bed Gasifier Characterisation and Comparison
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2006)
In 2004 the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering (CAPE) at University of Canterbury began a programme to investigate using biomass gasification integrated combined cycle (BIGCC) technology to convert waste products ...
Thermodynamics of non electrolyte solutions.

Wind pumping in a snow pack related to atmospheric turbulence
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 1993)
An extensive investigation has been carried out to evaluate the possible influence of wind pumping on snow metamorphism, and hence snow stability. Wind pumping refers to a pulsile forced flow of air in a snow pack due to ...
Bilinear identification of a binary distillation column
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 1986)
Low order bilinear models of chemical processes, suitable for control applications over a wide operating region, were identified.
A case study on a simulated heated tank system showed that there was considerable potential ...
