🛠️ Work Experience:
Internship at Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC), KAUST – Focused on oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of heavy fuel oils and simplified kinetics scheme development for heavy fuel oils pyrolysis. (June 2020 – May 2021)
Research Area:
Mr. Elia Colleoni’s research area focuses on several aspects of chemical engineering and energy, with specific interests in the following areas:
Heavy Oils Characterization: Investigating the properties and characteristics of heavy oils, particularly in the context of their gasification and ultrasonically assisted oxidative desulfurization.
Pyrolysis of Heavy Fuel Oils: Developing and studying kinetics mechanisms related to the liquid-phase pyrolysis of heavy fuel oils, aiming to understand the underlying processes and behaviors.
Cavitation Reactors and Oil Processing: Numerical modeling and application of ultrasonically induced cavitation reactors, especially in the context of processing heavy oils.
SARA Fractions Pyrolysis: Exploring the chemical kinetics of pyrolysis, with a focus on specific fractions such as resins within the SARA (Saturates, Aromatics, Resins, and Asphaltenes) classification.
Sonoprocessing of Oil: Studying the effects of sonoprocessing on oil, particularly the declustering of asphaltenes behind fine ultrasonic emulsions.
