A soil washing study was performed to evaluate the treatability of New River sand contaminated in the laboratory with a petroleum distillate. Unaltered and base-extracted sands were mixed with petroleum hydrocarbons, equilibrated, and washed with water or a surfactant at two different pH values (7 and 12). The surfactant had no significant effect on contaminant removal efficiencies at neutral p...

Reactor and reaction engineering play a vital role in petroleum and chemical processing. The aim of this article is to acquaint the reader with the interaction between reactor design=selection and the characteristics of the chemical reaction of interest. Reactor selection and design are the basis of economical and safe operation. Chemical reactions in petroleum refining include a huge spectrum ...

Tile basic objective of tilis study was the evaluation of gastric lavage in the treat ment of accidental ingestion of petroleum distillate products, with particular emphasis on the development of pulmonary compli cations. Also, more detailed information concerning various clinical and epidemio logic aspects of poisoning from these prod ucts was sougilt. In addition it was felt that such a study...

This paper presents a quantitative method for the risk-based evaluation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in vapor intrusion investigations. Vapors from petroleum fuels are characterized by a complex mixture of aliphatic and, to a lesser extent, aromatic compounds. These compounds can be measured and described in terms of TPH carbon ranges. Toxicity factors published by USEPA and other part...

The article presents the results of electromagnetic activation petroleum feed in vortex layer apparatus. It is shown that under influence, there a significant increase proportion straight-run gasoline fraction distillate, as well change physicochemical parameters light fractions obtained result cavitation effect and low-temperature cracking. has been established processes wave action on oil occ...

Oil plays a vital role in the economic growth and sustainability of industries their corporations. The current study sought to forecast oil demand Ghana for next decade. variables analyzed this were Petroleum other liquids, motor gasoline, distillate fuel, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG). utilized three univariate models; thus, linear regression, exponential smoothing forecasting various compon...

The article presents the results of electromagnetic activation petroleum raw materials in vortex layer apparatus. It is shown that under influence, there a significant increase proportion straight-run gasoline fraction distillate, as well change physicochemical parameters light fractions obtained. established processes wave action on oil, which take place zone field, lead to group hydrocarbon c...
