Crude oil refining processes generate a large amount of petroleum sludge (PS) in petroleum industries. Globally, PS has gained widespread attention to ensure its effective waste management. This study investigated the suitability of PS to provide an…
In this study, the physicochemical properties of linseed and linseed biofuel were studied and their effect on the flow properties of Nigerian waxy crude oil at different volume fractions was investigated. The Nigerian wax crude oil was characterized…
In recent years, rejuvenators have been used in cold asphalt mixtures to assist sustainability efforts. However, most studies on this topic have focused on laboratory prepared samples only. This study characterized the short-term field asphalt…
The growing demand for non-renewable resources is a significant problem these days, and one such resource is bitumen, which is a prime component of flexible pavement. Thus, researchers are striving to find novel approaches such as bitumen…
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermochemical process that can convert organic materials in sewage sludge into crude-like oil. Knowledge of the rheology of sewage sludge as a feedstock is important for the design of a HTL Biorefinery as it…
In order to develop a special surfactant that is suitable for improving oil recovery in low permeability reservoirs, and simultaneously meet the requirements of effectively improving sweep efficiency, displacement efficiency and good injectability, a…
Experimental investigation was carried out on a bench-scale slurry transportation test facility to explore rheological properties and wall slip behavior for petroleum-coke water slurry (PCWS) and petroleum-coke sludge slurry (PCSS) flowing in…
