You are invited to attend Kayden Toffolo's MASc oral exam, where they will discuss their thesis.
In this thesis, design and operation strategies for chemical-looping combustion (CLC) and chemical-looping gasification (CLG) are investigated to improve the sustainability of energy generation. In this work, a nonlinear model predictive control scheme is implemented for large-scale packed bed CLC, and is used to determine control actions which increase the energy generation and carbon capture effectiveness of the process. In addition, a reactor network model is developed for biomass-fueled CLC and CLG and is used to determine reactor designs which improve the gasification efficiency of CLG and the carbon capture effectiveness of CLC.
