NFPA 59A Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) requires facilities to have the equipment necessary for the detection and control of fires, leaks and spills of hazardous materials, yet provides no…
The rapid growth of liquefied natural gas consumption makes the issues of its transportation more urgent. At present, liquefied natural gas pipeline transportation is carried out only by means of short length process lines. This paper discusses the…
This study evaluates the environmental impact of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply systems using a life cycle assessment (LCA) method. LCA is a technique assessing the environmental aspects associated with a system or a product for its entire life…
Biodiesel has emerged as a viable alternative to mineral diesel in the transport sector to replace fossil fuels partially. However, long-term compatibility with engine hardware must be evaluated to ensure a smooth transition. Long-term material…
A Janus membrane/mesh is a type of functional membrane/mesh composed of opposing wetting properties formed into a single layer in order to achieve novel properties. Janus membranes/meshes have attracted increasing attention from materials scientists…
Scope: This International Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, materials, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and abandonment of pipeline systems used for transportation in the petroleum and natural gas…
This paper presents a novel miniaturized noninvasive submersible compact planar sensor to estimate petroleum contents for various industrial and remote sensing applications. The proposed sensor is based on a microstrip technique wherein a…
The Cleaner Production audit is a comprehensive method that aims to realize Cleaner Production throughout the life cycle industrial process of petroleum refining. The audit simultaneously measures the environmental impacts of the refinery, its…
The corrosions caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are serious problems in petroleum exploitation and transportation, which can lead to safety problems, environmental pollutions, and economic losses. Here, a charge-reversal surfactant…
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plays a major role in worldwide energy consumption as a clean source of energy with low greenhouse gases emission. LPG transportation is exhibited through networks of pipelines, maritime, and tracks. LPG transmission…
Carbon emission has been widely studied in transportation research in general, yet research on carbon emission specifically in hazardous material transportation remains surprisingly limited. This study presents a multi-objective model for locating…
The petroleum refining industry is an important energy conversion sector, providing both products and raw materials to a wide range of end-use sectors, including the transportation and chemical industries. This study uses a typical refinery process…
In recent years the oil extraction rate in North America has had ascending trend resulted in numerous accidents such as what happened in 2013 in Lac-Megantic. On the other hand, the pipelines capacity for transfer of hazardous materials is not enough…
The rapid expansion of production of North American petroleum crude oil from shale has led to a significant increase in rail transport of crude oil. Broken rails are frequent causes of train accidents. Ultrasonic rail defect inspection is widely used…
Scope: This document specifies the requirements for qualification, application, testing and handling of materials required for the application of reinforced concrete coating externally to either bare pipe or pre-coated pipe for use in pipeline…
The thermal and catalytic decomposition of waste plastics through pyrolysis is one of the best approaches of handling plastics waste and most prospective alternative of converting waste to wealth by transforming the waste plastics into lighter fuel…
A commercial Fe-C material (P265GH) used for natural gas delivery and transportation systems was analyzed in H2S atmosphere in order to establish the corrosion resistance. In most of the industrial processes for gas purification the corrosion rate is…
Superamphiphobic materials are helping with urgent issues due to increasing industrial oil transportation, as well as common oil pollution, which has triggered large interest owing to their high application value and practicability. However, they are…
The petroleum industry has focused on the modification of crude oil composites to decrease their adhesion onto materials and thus facilitate oil extraction, transportation, storage, and processing. However, these methods such as heating, dilution,…
