The University of Houston received a $499,999 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the NSF Directorate for Engineering program to conduct kinetic and scale-up studies on modular ethene production through high pressure autothermal operation from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The University will leverage the funding to advance research on developing modular production methods for ethylene gas through high-pressure reactions and autonomous thermal control, aiming to improve process efficiency and scale-up potential. Insights from the studies have applications for chemical engineering and sustainable fuel production. The NSF Directorate for Engineering seeks to foster innovation in engineering research and economic competitiveness through supporting projects like this one.
