Hydrodenitrogenation of Heavy Oil (Part 3)

3. Myxosporean parasites from mesopotamian part of Iran

A survey on myxosporean parasites of freshwater fishes from Mesopotamian part of Iran (south western part of the country, Khuzestan Province) was carried out. Some 280 individuals belonging to 14 different species were examined the prevalence of myxosporean parasites, morphology of the spores, plasmodial development, the infective site, and characteristics of the cyst location using the histolo...

Development of Heavy Oil Hydrocracking Catalysts

This paper present some results obtained from the research program being pursued at the Research Institute of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals aimed at the development of suitable catalysts for hydrocracking of the vacuum gas oils from Arabian Light crude to obtain higher quality distillate products. The newly developed high-performance hydroprocessing catalysts are based on synth...

Bioremediation of Heavy Crude Oil Contamination

Crude oil contamination is one of the major environmental concerns and it has drawn interest from researchers and industries. Heavy oils contain 24-64% saturates and aromatics, 14-39% resins and 11-45% asphaltene. Resins and asphaltenes mainly consist of naphthenic aromatic hydrocarbons with alicyclic chains which are the hardest to degrade. Crude oil biodegradation process, with its minimal en...
