Lab-Scale Investigations During Combustion of Agricultural Residues and Selected Polish Coals

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. ...

Selenium Removal from Agricultural Drainage Water: Lab Scale Studies

This report is an evaluation of the selenium removal from agricultural drainage water and synthetic solutions contaminated with high amounts of selenium. Batch and kinetic studies were conducted on the removal of selenium and the effectiveness of various remediation materials was determined. The agricultural drainage water samples were obtained from San Joaquin Valley and provided by Department...

Combustion of some Thai agricultural and wood residues in a pilot swirling fluidized-bed combustor

This paper reports a comparative study of burning Thai rice husk, sunflower shells and fine rubberwood sawdust as well as co-firing of the sawdust and shredded eucalyptus bark in the swirling fluidizedbed combustor (SFBC). All experiments for firing individual fuels were performed for the combustor heat input of ∼300 kWth. However, in the co-firing tests, the fuel mixture was delivered at a fix...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
