Research and Expertise
-
Sustainable energy from waste (landfill gas and biogas), landfill emissions, life cycle analysis
My current research focuses on:
1) Sustainable energy from waste and landfill emissions, with the following goals:
- Increase landfill gas production as a renewable energy resource,
- Increase biogas production from other waste systems (e.g. industrial waste, household waste), as renewable energy resources,
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills, using waste materials as alternative landfill covers.
2) Life cycle environmental analysis.

Manhole Corrosion Protection Assessment sponsored by City of Arlington Water Utilities - $474,723 PIThe overall goal of this project is to lengthen the lifespan of manholes and pipes in the City of Arlington sewer by reducing chemical deterioration due to hydrogen sulfide, which will save the city money over the long-term.Specific project objectives and associated tasks are: Objective 1: To recommend changes in city manhole protection criteria to reduce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) corrosion. Task 1. For over 300 manholes in various manhole categories, to measure parameters that cause H2S to form in the liquid phase and volatilize into the gas phase, as well as the amount of resulting corrosion. Task 2. Using the data measured in Task 1, to determine the rate of corrosion for each manhole, and to build a model to predict corrosion rates based on significant contributing factors. Task 3. Based on the analysis conducted in Task 2, to specify in what circumstances manholes should be protected from hydrogen sulfide, and recommend any other changes in manhole design criteria that will reduce the potential for future corrosion. Objective 2: To recommend minimum slopes for each pipe size to prevent hydrogen sulfide generation and sedimentation. Task 1. For manholes along the same stretch of main, for several mains, to measure liquid -phase parameters that contribute to hydrogen sulfide generation. At least 25 manholes will be sampled in this task. Task 2. Using the data measured in Task 1, to estimate the slope necessary to minimize hydrogen sulfide generation for a given pipe flow and diameter.read more...

Field Measurement of Emissions from Natural Gas Drilling, Production ,and Distribution Facilities Using a Cavity Ring Spectrophotometer sponsored by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) - $29,950 PIUniversity will carry out research focused on answering the following questions: 1.What is the frequency of leaks in natural gas distribution systems in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex? 2. How episodic are emissions from natural gas operation sites? 3. Is H2S observed in amounts of concern in the Barnett Shale? In answering these questions, University will work with EDF to develop a workplan, including the protocols to be used and the amount of time envisioned, for each question. For example, for question 1, the University would provide a plan to EDF that identifies a circuit covering a significant portion of local gas distribution systems (e.g., Dallas, Ft. Worth, Arlington). University could screen for point sources (gas wells, compressors, processing plants, water treatment, landfills etc.) and exclude those from the sample, and identify leaks as occurrences when Picarro reading was more than a certain amount above ambient background. Repeated sampling under similar wind conditions could speak to persistence of leaks. Since winds may sometimes blow the leak plume away from sampling path, this method would provide a low-end estimate of leak frequency. These estimates could be compared to utility reported leak occurrence to determine how well leaks are being identified by gas utilities. In addition to providing plans and proptocols for how to answer each of these questions, University will provide updates on data gathered in answering the questions and a report outlining answers to each of the questions. There may be other questions that EDF will ask University to consider throughout the contract period, for example, how representative are the methane emissions reported in the Fort Worth air study. In addition to these other potential questions, University will also consider other potential uses for the Picarro during the contract period, for example, co-locating the Picarro with a fixed site auto-GC monitor.read more...

UT Arlington REU Site on Hazard Mitigation sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) - $300,000Project Elements New REU Site Project Title: UT Arlington REU Site on Hazard Mitigation Principal Investigator: Dr.Nur Yazdani, Co-Principal Investigator: Dr. Yvette Pearson Weatherton Submitting Organization: The University of Texas at Arlington Research Location: The University of Texas at Arlington Main Fields and Subfields of the Research: Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering Number of REU Participants: 15 per year Summer REU Site Project Includes: Ethics and RET Components Point-of-Contact for Student Applicants: Dr. Nur Yazdani, (817) 272-5055, yazdani@uta.edu Web Address for REU Site: Not Yet Available The objectives of the proposed REU project are to (1) recruit students into and retain students in four-year engineering programs through graduation; (2) encourage participants to pursue graduate degrees in engineering and (3) expose participants to practical applications of engineering research. Engineering and science students will be recruited from local community colleges with which the university has established relationships, as well as other universities, with emphasis on minority serving institutions (MSIs). Students will work on research teams with faculty and high school teachers participating in the ongoing Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site on Hazard Mitigation. Intellectual Merit The REU provides an excellent opportunity to integrate research and education. In addition to students being involved in computer or laboratory-based research, they will be engaged in other activities such as field trips, presentations and workshops, which are all designed to broaden the students? educational experiences. They will have an additional opportunity to participate in the education process by performing demonstrations and/or giving demonstrations (based on their research). The program is designed to ultimately inform students of and motivate them for the attainment of advanced degrees in engineering. It will additionally provide benefits to participants who decide not to attend graduate school by introducing them to practical applications of engineering research to ?real world? problems. This is especially important with the increased occurrences of natural disasters (such as hurricanes and tornadoes), terrorist threats, cyber security breaches and infrastructure failures (such as massive blackouts) that the world has experienced over the past several years. The REU researchers all have expertise in these areas of hazard mitigation as they apply to the fields of civil, electrical and computer engineering. Broader Impacts The REU activities are designed to advance discovery by engaging students in inquiry-based learning environments. Members of underrepresented groups will be targeted for recruitment; support letters from several minority serving universities and local community colleges have been included in this proposal. The project will help to establish long-term partnerships with these universities while building on existing partnerships with Tarrant County College and Richland College. Results will be disseminated broadly through publications in educational journals, presentations at conferences and through a website that will be developed for the program. Further, students will be encouraged to present their research to faculty and students on their home campuses. The primary societal benefit will be the students? increased awareness of and abilities to devise solutions to mitigate natural and man-made hazards. Another benefit will be increased exposure of K-12 students to engineering through exposure to the presentations prepared by the REU student?s through web site distribution and possible actual student visitations as an outreach component. The team work, at least during Year 1, between REU students and RET teachers will foster the exchange of engineering knowledge through K-12, undergraduate students and REU faculty and graduate student participants.read more...

On-Road Measurement of Air Quality Benefits: Intersection and Traffic Signal Improvements sponsored by Texas Air Research Center-Lamar University - $31,315Current 1-hou ozone state implementation plans (SIPs) for Dallas/Fort Worth relay heavily on Nox Mobile Source Emission Reduction Strategies (MSERS).Accuratesly estimating MSERS emission reductions is critical: underestimating reductions produces an overly stringent and costly SIP, whereas overestimating reductions, however, are often inadequate - useful only for large-scale projects based on simulations with varying degrees of accuracy, or based on sketch planning tolls with substantial error. On-road measurement of vehicle emissions can improve emission reduction estimates associated with various mobile source contral stategies. This study will measure the the effectiveness of two kinds of <SERS, intersection and traffic signal improvements, in the field using an on-board Nox emissions measurement system. An Arlington citywide signal timing plan, involving 20 roadway corridors and 213 signals, will be evaluated along with 2 Arlingtin intersection improvement projects.read more...
