Abstract Hydrocarbon processing from extraction to the final product is an important aspect that needs optimised technology for consumption-led market growth. This study investigated real data oil facility and analysed simulation model entire crude unit based on process system engineering using Aspen HYSYS. The mainly emphasises optimisation in hydrocarbon maximum yield of with less energy cons...

The number of marine pollution arising from illegal oil dischargers from ship tank or bilge pumping is much greater than those spectacular ship accidents. Active microwave sensors deployed on satellites are an important tool in oil spill detection. Among the many different sensors synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is possibly the most suited for oil spill (OS) monitoring and identification, becaus...

Paper presents research of local losses and temperature rise in transformer steel tank. First experimental method based on initial rate is presented. This a direct for determining distribution structural parts. Technique relies the fact that after body has settled at steady state internal heat source suddenly removed or applied, change any point proportional to input (loss density) point. To te...

Production scheduling defines what products should be produced and what products should be consumed at each point in time over a short period; hence, it defines which run-mode to use and when to perform changeovers to meet the market needs and to satisfy the demand. The study presented in this Article focuses on the scheduling of the loading and unloading of crude oil in intermediate storage ta...

The present study examined the biodegradation rate of benzene vapors in a two phase stirred tank bioreactor by a bacterial consortium obtained from wastewater of an oil industry refinery house. Initially, the ability of the microbial consortium for degrading benzene was evaluated before running the bioreactor. The gaseous samples from inlet and outlet of bioreactor were directly injected into a...

Nowadays, the increasing demand for energy in the world is one of the main concerns for energy supply. In fact, the required energy can be obtained by increasing the production rate of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. However, improving the efficiency of the equipment and facilities might have a significant impact on production from hydrocarbon resources. With respect to this subject, ...

Continuous monitoring of Power transformer is very much essential during its operation. Incipient faults inside the tank and winding insulation needs careful attention. Traditional ratio methods and Duval triangle can be employed to diagnose the incipient faults. Many times correct diagnosis due to the borderline problems and the existence of multiple faults may not be possible. Artificial inte...
