Administration (EIA) provides analyses used to assess proposed energy and environmental policies and to make energy forecast for the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO). The tool used by EIA for these mid to long term forecasts is the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), a large-scale model of energy supply, demand, prices, and technologies. One component of NEMS is the Petroleum Marketing Module (P...

Crude oil blending is an important unit operation in petroleum refining industry. A good model for the blending system is beneficial for supervision operation, prediction of the export petroleum quality and realizing model-based optimal control. Since the blending cannot follow the ideal mixing rule in practice, we propose a static neural network to approximate the blending properties. By the d...

water contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons has harmful effects on health, economy and environment. in this study, photolysis process for treating petroleum hydrocarbons was investigated. hence different initial cods with different uv-c radiation power were examined. based on the energy consumption per unit of cod removed, cod of 350 mg/l and radiation power of 80 w were chosen as the optimu...
