Biography
Dr. Eric Croiset, received his PhD From the University of of Orléans, France. His Administrative Duties are CHair and Professor to the University. This aspect of my research involves primarily simulation and economical evaluations of processes aimed at capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), essentially from power plants. After studying a number CO2 capture processes at steady-state (post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxyfuel combustion), my current interest is on the dynamic simulation and control of such processes. The objectives are twofold: 1) Understand the dynamic behaviour of the CO2 capture plants, in particular relative to the dynamics of the power plant and 2) Assist in the design of power plants with CO2 capture. For this research, I have enjoyed a long lasting collaboration with CanmetEnergy, Natural Resources Canada. Within the Department, my main collaborators on those projects are Drs. Douglas and Ricardez-Sandoval.
