Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is an emerging technology for CO2 capture because separation of this gas from the other flue gas components is inherent to the process and thus no energy is expended for the separation. Natural or refinery gas can be used as gaseous fuels and they may contain different amounts of light hydrocarbons. This paper presents the combustion results obtained with a Cu-...

In this study, a reformer model simulation to use refinery (Farashband refinery, Iran) waste natural gas. In the petroleum and allied sectors where natural gas is being encountered (in form of associated gas) without prior preparation for its positive use, its combustion (which takes place in flares, an equipment through which they are being disposed) has become a great problem because of its a...

Through a variety of material screening experiments, Al was selected as the added metal and constituted a multiple micro-electrolysis system of Fe/C/Al. The metal proportion of alloy-structured filler was also analyzed with the best Fe/C/Al ratio of 3:1:1. The regular Fe/C/Al multiple micro-electrolysis fillers were prepared using a high-temperature anaerobic roasting method. The optimum condit...

Refinery sludge is one of the major industrial wastes that needs to be handled and treated . Therefore, this study aim to investigate the Kinetics of devolatilization and oxidation of the refinery sludge collected from a typical petroleum refinery plant located in Malaysia . Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) was used in this study for modeling of the devolatilization and oxidation processes in ...

The development of neural network that could be used for the control of an industrial process is discussed. Field data from a working distillation column or fractionator of crude oil refinery in Nigeria was used for the development and testing the effectiveness of the controller. The developed controller performed optimally when compared with the installed distributed control system based on pr...

Customer loyalty is a component with considerable focus on by relationship-oriented marketing. Firm brand is one of the factors that play significant role in creating brand loyalty. Therefore in this research, we studied brand effect on customer loyalty. Also in this research, we examined customer satisfaction, loyalty, perceived quality and brand equity (brand value) in relation to customer lo...

Introduction: Unit risk management is a critical component of gas refining management, as risks that are not well-managed may lead to trip production failures. The present study aimed to provide a structural model for investigating the role and effect of different variables on stopping the gas production process in the gas refinery. Material and Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-se...
