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...
متن کاملApplication of carbon nanocatalysts in upgrading heavy crude oil assisted with microwave heating.
Heavy crude oil can be upgraded to lighter oil using several techniques. However, current methods usually require high temperatures, long reaction duration, and cause serious environmental pollution. This study shows that by using carbon nanocatalysts, heavy crude oil can be efficiently upgraded to lighter oil at a relatively low temperature of about 150 °C. The temperature of crude oil was inc...
متن کاملUse of Artificial Neural Networks for Predicting Crude Oil Effect on Carbon Dioxide Corrosion of Carbon Steels
The role of crude oil on carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion has gained special attention in the last few years because of its signifi cance when predicting corrosion rates. However, the complexity and variability of crude oils makes it hard to model its effects, which can infl uence not only wettability properties but also the corrosiveness of the associated brine. This study evaluates the usefulne...
متن کاملStructure and Rheology of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Exfoliated Polymer Nanocomposites
A major technological barrier to achieving superior properties of nano-structured composite materials is the difficulty of dispersing fillers uniformly in a host matrix. The existing nanocomposite manufacturing processes achieve property improvements through chemical modifications of filler structures and utilization of chemical interactions between the chemically modified fillers and matrix po...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Rheology of Crude Oil in Equilibrium with CO2 at Reservoir Conditions
A rheometer system to measure the rheology of crude oil in equilibrium with carbon dioxide (CO2) at high temperatures and pressures is described. The system comprises a high-pressure rheometer which is connected to a circulation loop. The rheometer has a rotational flow-through measurement cell with two alternative geometries: coaxial cylinder and double gap. The circulation loop contains a mix...
