Review of Green Chemical Technologies for Sustainable Developments in Chemical Process IndustriesBy Kiran Dinkar Patil
Abstract: The environmental and climatic issues facing across the globe are widely recognized as daunting problems. Therefore, green technologies and ecological sustainable development is vital as the quality of life is declining. We have had major progress in technology causing depletion of natural life sustaining resources, especially clean air and water. These problems are causing substantial environmental, economic and social impairment on a worldwide scale. Sustainable development implies that renewable resources …

Study on Effect of Insulation Design on Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis: An Important Aspect in Subsea Pipeline DesigningBy Kiran Dinkar Patil, Srikant Sadafule
Abstract: The most imperative and challenging operational hazards for oil and gas pipelines are the risks associated with the transportation of fluids. When water, oil and gas flow simultaneously inside the pipeline, there are quite high chances that, water and hydrocarbon fluids can form and deposit hydrate such as wax and asphaltene on the inner surfaces of the pipeline and gradually blocking it. In this paper we explore and compare the …

Review of Subsea Pipeline for Minimizing Thermal and Pressure ExpansionBy Kiran Dinkar Patil, Mukund Ketkar
Abstract: As the offshore oil and gas fields have been exploited in deeper water, subsea pipelines are required to operate at high temperatures and pressures. It causes subsea pipelines to be more subject to movements both in lateral and axial directions due to the loads produced by high temperatures and pressures. Some high temperature pipelines have experienced the cumulative axial displacement of an overall pipeline length over a number of start-up/shut-in …
