Hybrid Polymer-based System for EOR at High Salinity and High Temperature: Experiments

Polymer flooding plays an essential role in Enhanced Oil Recovery by means of achieving a more favorable mobility ratio through increasing the viscosity of the displacing phase and thus improve macroscopic sweep efficiency. Conventional polymer, e.g., hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, dissolved in brine at high-salinity and high-temperature can be...

The Fertile City: Raising Food Awareness Through Architecture

Cities are attracting people increasingly because of the work opportunities, universities and wide range of facilities. It is estimated that the world population will grow up to 10 billion people by 2050 with the majority living in cities. In Europe 80% of the population will live in cities by that time (Food and Agriculture Organization of the...
