Biography

Chakib Bouallou is a researcher whose work focuses on sustainable energy systems, the optimization of thermodynamic processes, and the valorization of CO₂. His research covers several major areas, including the efficiency of advanced thermodynamic cycles, such as two-phase expansion systems, supercritical CO₂ cycles, and power-to-gas technologies. He has contributed to the analysis and optimization of key components like ejectors, two-phase turbines, and high-temperature electrolyzers, including molten carbonate cells (MCEC) and their reversible use for syngas production. His work also integrates innovative approaches for CO₂ capture and reuse, as well as the evaluation of the environmental and economic performance of processes such as methanol production from biogas or the liquefaction of biomethane. Chakib Bouallou also explores issues related to renewable energies, studying their integration into energy storage systems or their coupling with chemical conversion technologies. His research relies on advanced modeling tools, such as Aspen Plus, and numerical optimization methods to improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of industrial processes.

Course Schedule: The objectives of the personal project preparation sessions are to gain hands-on experience with the current scope and equipment of the process industries, and—through industry lectures—to understand the skills, organizational structures, and ways of thinking that drive their progress. These sessions are structured around four modules spread over two weeks: - 2A - Raising awareness of the challenges to be addressed: energy, water, health, nutrition, the environment, and globalization—followed by three weeks of training - 3A - fundamentals of process design, innovative processes, and change management in industrial companies. At the same time, students prepare technology watch reports—CO₂ capture via oxy-combustion, hydrogen, and microalgae; challenges and limitations of ethanol production from wheat; impacts of incinerating new types of waste; new catalytic converters, etc. The personal project, running from November through June, challenges students to produce original work addressing real-world industrial needs within a major company in one of the sectors mentioned above. Topics are carefully selected in consultation with the student. The project is supervised by an engineer from the company, with guidance from researchers in the School’s Department of Energy and Process Engineering. 2-week introductory session in 2A and early October in 3A: “Major Issues”; skills: “Challenges of the process industry in a PEVD”; “Elective Field Trip”; October of the 3A year: “Fundamentals and Language of Processes”; practical skills: “General knowledge of the design, operation, and optimization—economic, energy, and exergetic—of processes and their basic building blocks”; October, 3A: “21st-Century Processes”; Practical Skills: “Overview of the Implementation of New Processes: Energy Decarbonization, CO₂ as a Raw Material, Plasma Processes, Batteries and Heat Pumps, Nanostructured Media, Biorefinery”; October 3A: “Change Management”; expertise: “Methods and tools for the development, management, and improvement of processes: Industrial risk management, Life Cycle Assessment, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Ecology, Industrialization, and industrial enterprises. Process modification. Business ethics"" Some representative elective topics covered in recent years: Optimization of a CO2 capture process: exergetic study, AIR LIQUIDE; Improvement of a biotechnological process for manufacturing an antibiotic, SANOFI-AVENTIS; Optimization of manufacturing times for cosmetic products, L’OREAL; Valorization of ametallurgical byproduct as a raw material, ERAMET; Development and industrialization of a new technical ceramic, IMERYS; Design of a rapid hydrogen tank filling procedure, AIR LIQUIDE; Water policyGroup water policy SAINT-GOBAIN Industrialization and optimization of an onboard cryogenic process AIR LIQUIDE Industrial and regional ecology in the PACA region Ecologie Industrielle Conseil Development of a new offering for personalized heating costs GDF-Suez Selected career paths/positions: Marianne Julien (P86) Energy optimization of oxygen production, then HR Director, Director of Industrial IT, Director of Energy Market Intelligence, Director Air Liquide’s Horizon Hydrogen Energy Program, Carole Le Gall (P89, CM92) Director of ADEME, then Director of CSTB, Jonathan Macron (P05) Technical Manager at Air Liquide, Marie Bessières (P07) Research Engineer in Biomass Gasification at GDF Suez, Benjamin Gauvrit (P08) International Logistics Engineer at L’Oréal, François Deroux (P09) Innovation Manager at Imerys, Olivia Pessinet (P09) Engineer in the QHSE Department at Saint-Gobain.
