Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Experimental Investigation of a Unique Electro-Biomembrane Based Integrated System for Wastewater Treatment and Simultaneous Clean Water, Hydrogen and Energy Production(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2024) Goren,A.Y.; Dincer,I.; Khalvati,A.This paper concerns the design, development, and building of a unique electro-bio-membrane reactor for concurrent bioH2 production, desalination, and energy production by microorganisms in a single reactor. The effects of varying biomass amounts (5–50 g) and inoculum amounts (250–1500 mL) on the bioH2 production efficiency are also investigated. The lowest cumulative bioH2 yield of 24.2 mL/g is obtained using a biomass amount of 5 g, while it is 44.7 mL/g at a biomass amount of 50 g. The highest H2 production from water electrolysis is also found as 0.719 mL/min at improved conditions. Furthermore, the highest power and current density values are 2794.5 mW/m2 and 2786.1 mA/m2 at 1500 mL-inoculum, biomass amount of 30 g, initial pH of 5.5, and temperature of 37 °C in the dark fermentation (DF) cell. Moreover, the desalination efficiency increases from 41.6 to 65.8% with decreasing inoculum amounts from 1500 to 250 mL. © 2024 The Institution of Chemical EngineersArticle Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Comprehensive Thermoeconomic Study of a New Solar Thermosyphon-Assisted Multigeneration System(Elsevier, 2023) Anamaq, Rasoul Najafi; Khani, Leyla; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa; Heris, Saeed Zeinali; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenNowadays, due to the global energy crisis, limited reservoirs of fossil fuels, and their negative environmental effects, the use of renewable energy sources and multigeneration systems have become good alternatives for conventional thermodynamic systems. One of these resources, whose technology has developed rapidly in recent years, is the use of solar energy for the simultaneous generation of various products. Therefore, in this research, a multigeneration system with several subsystems is introduced. The proposed system includes a solar energy collector to receive thermal energy, two thermal energy storage tanks, an organic Rankine cycle, and a Kalina cycle to generate electricity, a multi-effect distillation unit to produce fresh water, an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen, as well as heat recovery for hot water and hot air generation. In this multigeneration system, the cooling unit is designed with the help of a thermosyphon. The performance of the proposed system is studied from energy, exergy, environmental, and exergoeconomic viewpoints using Aspen HYSYS and EES software. The obtained results show that due to the addition of the thermosyphon unit to the refrigeration system, the exergy efficiency increases from 55.62% to 70.26%. As a result of this combination, the performance of the whole system is improved and the amount of costs are reduced. In addition, the parabolic collector system has the highest exergy destruction ratio, 39%, among the subsystems. Furthermore, the results of the exergoeconomic analysis indicate that the PEM water heater with 33.3% and the ejector with 22.7% own the highest cost destruction rates.
