Remediation by steam injection

Steam Injection for Soil and Aquifer Remediation

Innovative technologies for subsurface remediation, including in situ techniques based on heating the subsurface to enhance the recovery of organic contaminants, are increasingly being evaluated for use at specific sites as the limitations to the conventionally-used techniques are recognized. The purpose of this Issue Paper is to provide to those involved in assessing remediation technologies f...

Effect of subsurface electrical heating and steam injection on the indigenous microbial community

Since the potential for contaminant bioremediation in steam treated subsurface environments has not been explored, the thermal remedial treatment of a gasoline spill at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) Livermore site provided an opportunity to study microbial community changes in the subsurface environment. Many terrestrial microorganisms die or become metabolically inactive if h...

Modeling of Steam Distillation Mechanism during Steam Injection Process Using Artificial Intelligence

Steam distillation as one of the important mechanisms has a great role in oil recovery in thermal methods and so it is important to simulate this process experimentally and theoretically. In this work, the simulation of steam distillation is performed on sixteen sets of crude oil data found in the literature. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as artificial neural network (ANN) and also ad...

Thermodynamic Performance Assessment of Steam-Injection Gas-Turbine Systems

The cycles of the steam-injection gas-turbine systems are studied. The analyses of the parametric effects and the optimal operating conditions for the steam-injection gas-turbine (STIG) system and the regenerative steam-injection gas-turbine (RSTIG) system are investigated to ensure the maximum performance. Using the analytic model, the performance parameters of the system such as thermal effic...
