Nicholas Brooker
M.A.Sc. Candidate
Nick is a Masters student with the Energy and Emissions Research Laboratory, currently researching the destruction efficiency of benzene in a lab-scale flare. The focus is on glycol dehydrators as they are a key benzene emissions source for which flaring is often used as a control measure. Experiments are being performed using a specially customized, high-sensitivity gas chromatograph with measurement protocols designed to support quantitative uncertainty analysis. Prior to joining the EERL Nick completed a Bachelor of Engineering at Carleton University.
