Conversion of olefin-rich side streams of petroleum distillate cracking operations, pyrolysis gasoline (pygas), to hydrocarbon resins (HRs) represents a promising technology to upgrade the pygas byproduct and facilitate pygas valorization. Several…
Sandia National Laboratories has long used the Munson-Dawson (M-D) model to predict the geomechanical behavior of salt caverns used to store oil at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Salt creep causes storage caverns to deform inward, thus losing…
With depletion and natural decline of the sour gas fields in Germany, many conventional gas sweetening plants have been abandoned for economic reasons. A study and a concept selection were conducted to identify technical and economical competitive…
This work presents the highlights of the results obtained from the operations of a laboratory-scale pilot plant, designed for the demonstration of an innovative gas sweetening technology. The theory behind the process, based on a dual-pressure…
Concrete, a mixture composed of a cementation agent, mineral aggregates, and water has the potential to serve as a gigaton-scale sink for carbon dioxide (CO2). This could make concrete the worlds largest CO2 utilization opportunity. CarbonBuilts…
In this work, an atmospheric petroleum residue was fractionated using a falling film molecular distillation pilot plant with molecular distillation temperatures ranging from 190 to 320 C. The process produced four distillate cuts and four residues…
