This paper presents an exploratory study on the detection of natural gas water content by Raman spectroscopy. The method uses long range optical cell to enhance gas Raman signal and builds Raman gas detection platform, by which achieves the Raman…
We assessed freshwater consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and air emissions of using compressed and liquefied natural gas (NG) as transportation fuels by three heavy-duty NG vehicles (NGV) types from a wells-to-wheels (WTW) perspective. We…
Freshwater systems are vulnerable to contamination by oil extraction and transportation. Thus, it is critical to understand how large freshwater ecosystems such as the Great Lakes will respond to released oil. In this study, we investigated…
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…
In summer, the coastal areas of southern Iran suffer from the freshwater shortage and electricity instability. Meanwhile, this region benefits from the high intensity of solar radiation and the huge potential of brackish water resources. Hence, this…
In the emergence of new technologies to harness renewable energy, industrial-scale storage of heated water in a geothermal system is a promising technique. A porous, permeable medium, bounded by a poorly thermally conductive/convective overburden and…
Microbial community shifts of a freshwater wetland with crude oil pressure were investigated fully as a function of cultivation time, using the enrichment procedure and high-throughput sequencing. Bacterial structures and biodegradation capabilities…
The water-soluble fraction (WSF) of an oil contains different classes of petroleum hydrocarbons and, despite their low potential for bioaccumulation, these can be highly toxic to biota. Nematodes are usually the most abundant and species-rich group…
Reservoir thermal energy storage ("RTES") in high porosity and high permeability sedimentary settings offers the potential for large-scale and long-term heat energy storage for future any-time electricity production. Solar-generated thermal energy or…
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was the biggest in US history and released 3.19 million barrels of light crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. In this study, we compared the toxicity of water accommodated fractions (WAFs) of naturally weathered…
The aim of present study is to develop a mathematical model to predict water and salt separation efficiencies in an industrial two stages crude oil desalting process. The considered process consists of mixing valve and electrostatic drums connected…
Crude oil palm biomass (OPB) residue is an important source of lignocellulose and could be transformed into biofuels through thermochemical conversion for heat and power in CHP plants or act as sustainable reinforcement in the biocomposite industry.…
In this paper, a high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) is developed and manufactured to replace the traditional oil-fired boiler heater for crude oil heating. It extracts thermal energy from waste hot water separated from the crude oil to provide…
The characterization, occurrence, fate and behaviour of spilled oil in the affected boreal freshwater ecosystem were investigated in this study following a spill in March 2015, in Gogama, Ontario, Canada. A physicochemical property analysis of the…
Multi-component refrigerant compression refrigeration cycles have a high coefficient of performance and difficult controllability. In these systems, it is not easily possible to keep the ratio of stream compositions constant in the event of a leak.…
Diluted bitumen, also known as dilbit, is transported by rail and pipeline across Canada and the United States. Due to the fewer number of studies characterizing the toxicity of dilbit, a dilbit spill poses an unknown risk to freshwater aquatic…
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…
Hybrid energies interest many companies and countries. No form of electricity production is optimal in all situations. The wind and the sun are intermittent but do not consume fuel and do not emit greenhouse gases. Natural gas electricity production…
The water jacket heating furnace has become the widely used crude oil storage and transportation equipment in the oilfield. And the improvement of its thermal efficiency has become one key issue of energy conservation and emission reduction. The…

The full measuring range and real-time on-line measurement are new requirements for measuring the water content of the crude oil in oil pipeline with the application of the water flooding technique. The ultra short wave method made best use of the…
Diffusion coefficients of hydrogen sulfide in water and brine are critical in geology and chemical industries for hydrogen sulfide geological storage and hydrogen sulfide separation from natural gas. However, previous studies have mostly measured the…

The high dependence on crude oil for energy utilization leads to a necessity of finding alternative sustainable resources. Solvents are often employed in valorizing the biomass into bioproducts and other value-added chemicals during treatment stages.…
Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is considered an important CO2 mitigation strategy to support and compliment carbon capture and storage (CCS) objectives for the abatement and sequestration of CO2. It represents various pathways that utilise CO2…
