Design and Evaluation of New Flue Gas Cleanup Processes to Meet New EPA Regulations (Spring 2003) IPRO 304

Students who join this IPRO team will gain experience in working with chemical and environmental engineering students on important issues that relate to designing chemical and environmental engineering processes. Studens on this project will be split into three different subteams: (a) Design and Evaluation of New Flue Gas Cleanup processes to meet new Environmental Regulations: The objective of this project is to design and provide an economic assessment of new flue gas cleanup processes to meet new and future environmental emissions standards. The issues to be considered in this project include technical viability, process integration, economic feasibility, and environmental disposal of waste streams. An economic assessment of the market-based prices of emissions allowances will be used to determine the best long-run strategy. An assessment will be made on the effects of implementation of new technologies on the cost of electricity for both low sulfur western coal, and high sulfur Illinois coal to determine if governmental incentives are needed to promote the use of Illinois coal. (b) Design and evaluation of engineering systems to control VOCs from groundwater: The objective of this project is the design and cost estimation for various pollution control devices that can remove volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from ground water. Effective and efficient treatment methods are needed to meet this clean up challenge. (c) Design of a Modern Hydrogen Production and Recovery Facility: The object of this project is to apply engineering principles of separation processes to recove pure hydrogen from mixed gases. This will include the availability and selection of a feed stream and an analysis of the feasibility and economics of commercial and innovative processed for the recovery operation.Sponsorship: IIT Collaboratory for Interprofessional StudiesProject Plan for IPRO 304: Design and Evaluation of New Flue Gas Cleanup Processes to Meet New EPA Regulations for the Spring 2003 semeste

Hybrid Electric Fuel Cell Battery (Semester Unknown), IPRO 304: Hybrid Electric Fuel Cell Battery IPRO 304 Final Report F04

This project is mainly concerned with creating a hybrid electric circuit to run a wheel chair for 100 miles. The hybrid circuit should function in such a manner that during operation the wheel chair should continuously drawing power from the fuel cell but should also take power from the lithium-ion batteries during peak power demands which the fuel cell cannot fully cover. Currently no such hybrid circuit exists but is being developed on a theoretical basis.Deliverable
