Multiphysics Computational-Fluid-Dynamics (CFD) for Design and Scale-Up of Gas Bioreactors that Utilize CO2

Gas fermentation technology offers sustainable and high carbon-efficiency routes to fuels and chemicals. However, efficiently delivering low-solubility substrate gases to production-scale bioreactors is a significant technical challenge that could limit productivity. We perform fundamental and applied multiphysics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research targeting specific challenges of gas delivery in fermentation systems that utilize varied gas-compositions, for e.g. CO2/CO/CH4/H2 substrates: bubble dynamics, coupled mass-transfer and reaction, that can lead to optimal reactor designs at scale. This work will support BETO goals towards greenhouse gas reduction, derisking technologies toward commercialization/deployment and sustainable-aviation-fuel synthesis targets.

Multi-spool CO2 aircraft power system for operating multiple generators

A CO 2 bottoming cycle system includes a first compressor operatively connected to a first turbine through a first shaft. A first generator is operatively connected to the first shaft. A second compressor is fluidically connected to the first compressor. The second compressor is operatively connected to a second turbine through a second shaft. A second generator is operatively connected to the second shaft. The first turbine is fluidically connected to the second turbine.

Reactor with advanced architecture for the electrochemical reaction of CO2, CO and other chemical compounds

A platform technology that uses a novel membrane electrode assembly, including a cathode layer, an anode layer, a membrane layer arranged between the cathode layer and the anode layer, the membrane conductively connecting the cathode layer and the anode layer, in a CO x reduction reactor has been developed. The reactor can be used to synthesize a broad range of carbon-based compounds from carbon dioxide and other gases containing carbon.
