Or, le niveau de qualité du SA en milieu éducatif traditionnel est tel qu’il ne […]

Sea spraying icing is one of the ongoing problems in offshore operations. It may cause hazards and operational problems for both supply vessels and offshore drilling units. It is well known that spray icing leads to instant heat loss, sudden temperature drop, and rapid ice accumulation. However, there is lack of knowledge about the mechanism […]

Ekona Power Inc is developing a technology to convert natural gas into H2, electricity, and a solid carbon stream. The solid carbon stream will then be sequestered. Their approach involves two reactors. The first reactor combusts natural gas and oxygen to provide the process heat to the second reactor. The second reactor heats natural gas […]
