Parametric study on the energy efficiency of the stabilization column

Ahmed Ould Brahim Souad Abderafi Tijani Bounahmidi

In this work, we will seek to model and optimize the energy efficiency of the distillation column of petroleum fractions, especially the gasoline stabilization column to get a better use of energy, increased yield and reduced costs of operation. The calculation of the stabilization column was performed by using Soave-Redlich-Kong (SRK) thermodynamic model, with the help of CHEMSEP software. A technical feasibility study was followed to run the stabilization column at optimum values of pressure, reflux ratio and feed tray to optimize efficiency of the column. The results allowed us to highlight the effect of these parameters on the energy efficiency of the stabilization column. From an economic point of view, stabilization with optimal parameters may contribute to a decrease in expenses related to the energy consumption.

Sites Benchmark using AHP Method for Implementing Solar Powered Thermal Desalination Plants in Morocco

2021 9th International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference (IRSEC) (2021)

Jaouad Eddouibi Sébastien Vaudreuil Tijani Bounahmidi Souad Abderafi

To enhance access to an affordable drinking water source in rural arid areas, emerging solar desalination technologies are extensively investigated mainly solar powered membrane separation techniques. The purpose of this work is to highlight factors promoting the development of thermal water desalination processes including the availability of brackish (BW) aquifers, rainfall, water salinity, hydraulic conductivity, water table depth, and abundant solar irradiance (DNI). This work evolves identification of BW aquifers in arid areas of Morocco, and select ing the most suitable site to build solar thermal desalination plants. To select the best aquifer, hence, the most suitable site; five brackish water (BW) aquifers located in arid regions of Morocco have been identified then compared according to six aforementioned factors using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study revealed that Tafilalet and Errachidia aquifers are the most promising regions for such kind of desalination technologies from both aquifers characteristics and DNI point of view.

Techno-Economic Evaluation of a Concentrating Solar Power Plant Driven by an Organic Rankine Cycle

Journal of Solar Energy Engineering (2020)

Fayrouz El Hamdani Sébastien Vaudreuil Souad Abderafi Tijani Bounahmidi

Abstract Concentrating solar power (CSP) technology is one of the promising options to generate green energy. However, the cost of kWhe produced is relatively high compared with fossil resources and can be reduced by integrating a cogeneration system exploiting waste energy. In this study, a technico-economic evaluation of a 1 MWe CSP plant with a condensation heat (85 °C) is investigated. The temperature constraint is set to meet the thermal separation needs of the draw solution of a forward osmosis desalination process. The purpose of this study focuses on the factors involved in reducing the cost per kWhe, which are the selection of the organic fluid used in the organic Rankine cycle and the appropriate choice of the solar multiple (SM) according to the appropriate storage hours (SH) maximizing the CSP thermal efficiency. The performance of different organic fluids was compared, based on the calculation of the thermodynamic cycle efficiency. The cyclopentane was retained for its reduced cost. Operating with this fluid, a sensitivity analysis was realized to test the effect of the solar multiple and storage hours on the power plant. It allows us to conclude that different appropriate combination between storage hours and solar multiple can be chosen, for the needs of our project, we opt for 8 h and 1.85, respectively. Thus, in this case, the cost of kWh was found to be 23.95¢.

Statistical Analysis of Measured Sucrose Solubility, in Complex System and Its Prediction with UPDH Model

Advances in transdisciplinary engineering (2023)

Souad Abderafi Yamina Abed

The sucrose solubility was measured at atmospheric pressure, for complex system, at temperature equal to 70°C. The complex system was assimilated to industrial sugar juices characterized by four pseudocomponents impurities; those are invert sugar, amino acid, carboxylic acid and ash. The variation intervals of these impurities were chosen proportionately small as in industrial sugar juices. The analysis of the experimental results, carried out using the Pareto diagram and the ANOVA test, shows the main effect of the composition of reducing sugar, ash and water with a contribution of 90% of total effects on the sucrose solubility and a correlation coefficient of 98%, without any interaction effect between the different variables studied. The UNIFAC Pitzer Debye-Hükel (UPDH) model was used to predict experimental sucrose solubility, in complex system. Some binary interaction parameters available in the literature were exploited and new others were estimated in this work. The model describes the experimental sucrose solubility in complex system, with mean absolute error of 3% and maximum error of 7%.
