Industrial Applications of Gas Hydrates

Since his Ph.D. on hydrate crystallization at IFPEN, he cumulates 26 years of experience on the topic of Gas Hydrates. He is Head and founder of the GasHyDyn Research Team specialized on fundamentals of hydrates and scaling up to industrial applications, in the field of flow assurance, CO2 capture, heat transport, water treatment, methane hydrate bearing terrestrial or Mars sediments. He is author/co-author of over 30 publications in international review, on thermodynamics, kinetics, physics, instrumentation, flowsheeting and economic analysis. He has been staff of a start-up on water treatment during 2 years. He participated to 6 European research program and 1 european academic partner, coordinated a national program on fundamentals of gas hydrates for gas separation. He was directly sponsored by industrial partners (Oil and Gas, Cement industry) for a total amount of 2 millions euros.
