Cleaning of Lakes and Marshes by Pulsed Power Produced Streamer Discharges in Water.

Production of runaway electrons by negative streamer discharges

Characterization of antimicrobial metabolites produced by halophilic Actinomyces isolated from Aran-Bidgol and Maharlu lakes

  Introduction: The purpose of this study was isolation of halophilic Actinomyces and the evaluation of their potential for producing antimicrobial metabolites. Material and method: To isolate antimicrobial metabolites producing Actinomyces, culture supernatant of 51 halophilic Actinnomyces isolates were assessed against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcu...

Ozone Generation by Pulsed Streamer Discharge in Air

Ozone is well established as an important oxidising agent in many industrial applications and the high-voltage pulsed streamer discharge technique has emerged as an efficient method for its production. The paper investigates the parameters that are important in this process, including the magnitude of the applied pulse voltage, the air flow rate and the electrode dimensions and spacing, when us...

Cleaning and Cutting with Self-resonating Pulsed Water Jets

A new type of pulsed water jet, which uses principles of self-resonance to create pressure fluctuations, is now being developed. The advantages of pulsing to improve the erosive action of a jet—by interrupting the flow, hence using the water hammer impact stress created by each individual slug—have long been appreciated by the users of water jets for cutting and cleaning applications. Of severa...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
