Research Interests:
Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass:
- Investigating the influence of natural zeolite impregnated with transition metals on the selectivity towards aromatic compounds during the catalytic pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. This research aims to contribute to sustainable and efficient methods for biomass conversion.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Storage and Safety:
- Analyzing the risks associated with the storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Ecuador. This research likely involves exploring safety measures, material considerations, and potential hazards to enhance the secure storage and handling of LPG.
BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion):
- Studying the BLEVE phenomenon as a motivation for safety in LPG installations. Understanding the dynamics and potential consequences of BLEVE is crucial for implementing effective safety measures in facilities handling LPG.
Materials Recommended for LPG Installations:
- Investigating materials recommended by international standards for use in LPG installations. This research may involve assessing the compatibility, durability, and safety aspects of materials used in LPG facilities.
Analysis of Gas Storage Systems:
- Comparing the storage aspects of gas in different systems, specifically exploring the differences between stationary tanks and cylinders. This research contributes insights into the efficiency and safety considerations of various gas storage methods.
Selection of Pipes for LPG Conduction:
- Identifying factors for selecting pipes for the conduction of LPG in Ecuador. This research likely involves considerations such as material properties, corrosion resistance, and overall suitability for safe and efficient LPG transportation.
