Modelling and Experiments on Subsurface Engineering Applications
Porous media research has a very wide range of applications such as subsurface energy. Read more
Numerical modelling and design of geothermal heat recovery from subsurface systems
Research Group:
Multiscale Modelling
Sedimentary basins are ubiquitous, naturally porous and permeable, and the geothermal heat in these basins can be extracted with geologic water or CO. Read more
Feasibility study of heavy metal mining from subsurface reservoirs for renewable energy storage
Heavy metal demand is expected to increase as more of the world turns to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. However, current supply of heavy metals is not sufficient to meet energy transition targets over the next decade due to limited available resources. Read more
Fluid Flow of Colloidal Suspensions in Subsurface Porous Media: Application to Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Processes
Different chemicals such as surfactants and polymers are used in the oil and gas sector (e.g., in oil recovery) and also during CO2 storage projects (CCUS). Read more
Efficient Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage
CO. 2. injection into geological formations triggers complex physical and chemical interactions at different time and length scales, which are critical to the evaluation of subsurface capacities, operational risks, and storage safety. Read more
Towards More Understanding of Aggregation and Scaling of Calcium Carbonate in the Petroleum Production Facility
The scale deposition and aggregation of calcium carbonate in the production facility is challenging problem in the petroleum industry. Read more
Fully Funded PhD Studentship in EPSRC Centre for Doctor Training (CDT) - Resilient decarbonised Fuel Energy Systems.
Utilisation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as blend with petroleum-derived aviation fuels or standalone replacements offers an advantageous step towards decarbonised aviation, for foreseeable future, in response to the net-zero emission target by 2050. Read more
Colloidal Silica for Well Stabilisation during Borehole Sealing
Overview. This project is investigating the use of colloidal silica grout (which forms a hydrogel) in the long-term sealing of boreholes in the ground, to prevent subsequent upward fluid migration from rocks at depth to the surface. Read more
Microalgal Biorefineries
A major contemporary challenge in industrial manufacturing is the development of sustainable production processes. This includes reduced resource consumption and CO2 generation, and energy efficient operations with maximised product outputs. Read more
Engineering Doctorate (EngD): New exhaust gas clean up systems for the combustion of new, low carbon fuels in heavy duty engines
As a company, Eminox’s global strategy is to develop exhaust after-treatment systems (EATS) for on-road, non-road mobile machinery (NRMM), rail, marine and power generation internal combustion engines (ICE) that will eventually adopt Carbon-Free Alternative Fuels such as NH. Read more
Algal Bioplastics
Single use plastic is a major environmental concern that is urgently in need of innovative solutions. Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms that can be employed to develop processes that are environmentally sustainable. Read more
Enhancing the Biotechnological Potential of a Bioplastic Producer Cupriavidus Necator H16 Using a Combination of Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) and Synthetic Biology Approaches
Plastic, a lightweight, durable, and impact-resistant material, has transformed the way we live and made positive impacts across various economic sectors. Read more
Self-funded PhD Project: Plastics degradation by novel Lipase
Plastics in the environment are a pressing matter. There is a need for methods to hasten the degradation of persistent plastics, even bioplastics. Read more
Experimental and Simulation Study on Mitigation of Fire and Explosion Using Water Mist
There has been a great deal of interest in the use of water based explosion suppression systems, designed to mitigate or reduce the impact of thermal explosions and their consequential overpressures. Read more
Fabrication, testing and life time predicof bio-based biodegradable composites for aircraft interior panels
Composites are, besides aluminium, the most important materials for aerospace applications. Read more
