Zero-Liquid Discharge Desalination of Hypersaline Shale Gas Wastewater: Challenges and Future Directions (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Onishi, V. C., Reyes-Labarta, J. A., & Caballero, J. A. (2018). Zero-Liquid Discharge Desalination of Hypersaline Shale Gas Wastewater: Challenges and Future Directions. In Recent Advances in Environmental Science from the Euro-Mediterranean and Surrounding Regions: Proceedings of Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI-1), Tunisia 2017 (65-67). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-70548-4_24

Unconventional natural gas extraction from tight shale reservoirs, or “shale gas”, has recently emerged as an attractive energy resource to face the rising worldwide demand.

Optimal Shale Gas Water Management: A Perspective from the Cooperative Games Theory (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Caballero, J., Reyes-Labarta, J., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Salcedo-Díaz, R., & Onishi, V. (2018). Optimal Shale Gas Water Management: A Perspective from the Cooperative Games Theory. In 2018 AIChE Annual Meeting

Cooperation is gaining importance in different fields of process management due to highly complex network structures. Therefore, it is not sufficient to plan operations in terms of isolated decision making. While examining cooperation, many decision...

Robust Stochastic-Fuzzy Modelling Approach for Shale Gas Wastewater Management under Uncertainty (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Onishi, V., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Reyes-Labarta, J., Caballero, J., & Antunes, C. (2017). Robust Stochastic-Fuzzy Modelling Approach for Shale Gas Wastewater Management under Uncertainty.

In this work, a new stochastic-fuzzy-based modelling approach is introduced for the robust optimization of shale gas wastewater management under multiple sources of uncertainty. Different management alternatives are considered to deal with the wastew... Read More about Robust Stochastic-Fuzzy Modelling Approach for Shale Gas Wastewater Management under Uncertainty.

Shale Water Desalination: Multistage Membrane Distillation considering Different Configurations and Heat Integration (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Carrero-Parreño, A., Onishi, V., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Salcedo-Díaz, R., Caballero, J., & Labarta, J. (2017). Shale Water Desalination: Multistage Membrane Distillation considering Different Configurations and Heat Integration.

This work introduces a simultaneous synthesis of membrane distillation systems with heat exchanger networks (HENs) for desalinating shale gas flowback and produce water. The direct contact and vacuum membrane configurations are the best options for d...

Heat Exchanger Networks Retrofitted with Simultaneous Pressure Recovery (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Onishi, V., Ravagnani, M., & Caballero, J. A. (2014). Heat Exchanger Networks Retrofitted with Simultaneous Pressure Recovery. In XX Brazilian Congress of Chemical Engineering – COBEQ 2014

This paper presents a new optimization model for the retrofit of heat exchanger networks (HENs), in which the pressure recovery of streams is used to enhance heat integration. Especially important in sub-ambient processes, the HEN retrofit with press... Read More about Heat Exchanger Networks Retrofitted with Simultaneous Pressure Recovery.
