Enhanced Oil Recovery through the Application of Nanoparticles with Irvingia Gabonensis in Flooding Process in the Reservoir
Abstract: This experimental investigation is aimed at establishing the ability of nanofluids formula from a mixture of nanoparticles and oil extracted from Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango) in enhancing recovery from oil reservoir. The laboratory study involved the use of core flooding unit, crude oil, brine, nano-particles and Irvingia gabonensis. In this study, nanofluids formulated from nanoparticles of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO) respectively were used …

Chlorella lipid oil for biofuel production obtained by a new method of high quality concentration of Chlorella
Abstract: Chlorella concentrates are unique due to the large amount of high-quality lipid oil produced from them, which is a high-quality biofuel. The production of high quality lipid oil requires the production of Chlorella concentrates with low water content (as a foam product). Existing methods of centrifugation or microfiltration for the concentration of chlorella are expensive andineffective. The article presents a new developed method for obtaining high-quality lipid oil, in which …

Oil Cuts Evaluation Obtained by Molecular Distillation from Heavy Petroleum Fractions in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Process
Abstract: Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a refining process that cracks heavy oil molecules in light fractions, mainly compounds with 3 to 12 carbon atoms. It is composed by a converter, main fractionator and gas plant. In this work FCC was modeled using Aspen HYSYS Cat cracker process simulator aiming to evaluate the true boiling point (TBP) curves of oil cuts obtained by falling film molecular distillation from a Brazilian atmospheric …

Petroleum Geothermal energy and process of mines extract
Abstract: Mining consumes a lot of energy, and because so much money is spent on fuel and energy transportation, energy costs are particularly expensive for remote mines that are off the grid. The necessity to switch to greener power sources to lessen its environmental impact is becoming increasingly clear to the mining industry as well. Geothermal energy is a crucial, albeit frequently underutilized, energy source for the mining sector as it …

Source of energy used to produce synthetic fuels is renewable energy
Abstract: The search for the next major energy solution is undoubtedly underway as oil and fossil fuel resources are depleting globally. It is possible that there won’t be a perfect energy that is always available and does not destroy the environment, nor will there be a panacea to the world’s energy problems. When opposed to traditional oil-based fossil fuels, synthetic fuels, also known as synfuels, provide both benefits and cons. All …
