Food waste can be converted to a useful product such as biochar way of recycling retain nutrients in the soil, which turn contributes carbon sequestration and offset some greenhouse gas emissions struggle achieve neutrality. Mixed food waste-derived biochars (FWB1–300°C, FWB2–450°C FWB3–600°C) were pyrolysed at 300°C, 450°C 600°C, respectively, using an electric kiln. Tests for physiochemical parameters germination tests performed. It was realized that 300°C produced had high nitrogen,...
Numerous injection water compositions have been developed by various researchers to optimize the oil recovery via wettability alteration. The ionic composition of injected brine plays a profound role in rock/brine and crude-oil/brine interfacial charge thereby its is pivotal recovery. experimental techniques used assess potential brines Notably among them are spontaneous imbibition, contact angle core flooding techniques. Zeta (ζ-potential) has some researcher evaluate alteration during...
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a pragmatic technology that could reduce anthropogenic CO2 halt climate change. injectivity affected by several physicochemical interactions around the injection area of wellbore which are temperature-dependant. There thermal disequilibrium between injected reservoir rock at has not been thoroughly investigated. A pore-scale model was developed to predict distance travelled fluid into formation before equilibrium established. In Snøhvit field...
Abstract Production, transportation and storage of highly waxy crude oil is very challenging. This because they are usually characterised by high content macro-crystalline waxes, predominantly consisting n-alkanes (C18 to C36) that which could cause costly deposition within the wellbore production equipment. The accumulation deposited wax can decrease rates, equipment breakdown, clog transport facilities. Currently, different polymeric inhibitors have been utilised in gas field mitigate...
Abstract Ghana is determined to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 15% 2030 and attain net‐zero 2070. However, like many developing countries, must utilize its limited resources effectively actualize climate goals. Currently, policies in the country are not driven emission data, which has important implications on effective utilization of selection efficient mitigation techniques. We analyzed energy consumption GHG data between 1990 2016 from Ghana's sector responsible for...
Abstract Curved pipes are essential components of subsea process equipment and some part production pipeline riser. So far, most the studies on wax deposition possible mitigation strategies have been carried out using straight pipelines, with little attention given to curved pipes. Therefore, objective this study is use an experimental flow loop designed assembled in lab understand mechanisms variable parameters that affect depositional behaviour under single-phase flow. Series experiments...
Abstract The accurate identification of gas–liquid flow regimes in pipes remains a challenge for the chemical process industries. This paper proposes method regime that combines responses from nonintrusive optical sensor with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic (QDA) vertical upward air water. A total 165 conditions make up dataset, collected an experimental air–water loop transparent test section (TS) 27.3 mm inner diameter 5 m length. Selected features extracted response are...
