In order to reduce the accidents caused by static electricity, simulative experiments were carried out to obtain the relationship between electrostatic and six factors in petroleum pipeline transportation. The electrostatic current generated in…
Biochar has been widely applied for the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil. However, the effect of biochar on the transport of petroleum degradation bacteria has not been studied. A typical Gram-positive petroleum degradation…
Salt cavern gas storage is an important strategic method to shave the fluctuation of supply- demand of natural gas in China. However, due to low grades of salt beds, there remains lots of insoluble sediments accounting for 1/3 up to 2/3 of the…
This study intended to examine whether the volatile compounds, oxidation stability and fatty acid profile of soybean oil are influenced by the refining process methods and conditions. To that end, an electrostatic field as a non-thermal technology…
Effects of secondary emulsification of field ASP flooding produced fluid by centrifugal pumps and electrostatic field on its oil/water separation performances were evaluated. Secondary emulsification of certain ASP flooding produced fluid with high…
Biochar has been widely applied for the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil. However, the effect of biochar on the transport of petroleum degradation bacteria has not been studied. A typical Gram-positive petroleum degradation…
We describe herein the design of a small AC electrostatic model coalescer for investigating coalescence efficiency of water in oil emulsions. The function of the model coalescer is tested on emulsions with different water cuts. In the coalescer,…
Mature crude oil fields are often prone to high water cuts and high content of fines. The large population of small water droplets and fines forms very stable crude oil emulsions that are difficult to break using conventional treaters. The high water…
