Among the techniques used to attenuate foams in crude production, the injection of chemical additives is still considered one of the most efficient. However, the effectiveness of a foam control agent (FCA) is limited to the knowledge of its mechanisms of action on crude oil foams. In this work it will be presented a new apparatus and methodology to produce foams with crudes in the range of 20 – 30 °API densities and discuss the experimental data focusing on the mechanism of antifoam/ defoamer mechanism. The study was performed with two crude oils in the temperature range of 25 – 55°C and FCA concentrations up to 75 ppm of a foam control agent (FCA) PDMS based. The experimental results indicated a distinct mechanism of FCA action on both oils. While the FCA caused a decrease in the initial foam height for the heavier crude (oil A), acting as an inhibitor, for the lighter crude (oil B), it mostly performed as a defoamer, i.e., increasing the bubble collapsing rate and reducing the total amount of time spent collapsing.</p>2024-02-19T08:31:54+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Petroleum Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/JoPET/article/view/7673Fuelling the Future!! Exploring Bioenergy Technology2024-03-22T08:33:12+00:00Shivangi Vyasshivangi999@gmail.comThe ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has revived the debate whether biofuels are boon or a bane. There is constant strife between policy makers whether to divert these grains for biofuel or sell in the food market. This paper aims to analyse its adaptability in a developing country like India. This done by assessing the positive and negative impact of Biofuel and its usage world over in both economic and environmental terms. It will also attempt to ascertain if a developing country like India who has not delved in biofuel usage in a big way should follow the herd blindly.2024-02-19T11:50:45+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Petroleum Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/JoPET/article/view/7740Comparison of Physicochemical Concentration on Temperature Effect of Crude Oil Contaminated Water Environment2024-03-22T08:33:12+00:00Uku Eruni Philipbooking.bestino@gmail.com<p>The bio-adsorbents used are plantain stem fiber, banana stem fiber and palm fruit fiber and the investigation was aimed to examiner the effect of temperature on the performance of the bio-adsorbents in a packed bed unit for the mitigation (reduction or removal) of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) from the fresh water medium using agro based fibre, which was prepared by subjecting the agro materials into sun and room dried before grounding into powder form of particle size of 50 and and the mass of the used adsorbent is 1500g with particle size ratio of 1:1:1 in terms of , , and , was placed in the packed bed unit connected in series. The investigation was performed at packed bed unit adsorption of of flow rate, constant packed bed unit height of 27cm. The effect of temperature was monitored with respect to change in physiochemical properties microbial count, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) mitigation, resident time and rate of TPH remediation.The comparison of the microbial count concentration of the HUB isolated and identified in each biounits with the effect of temperature reveals the degree of microbial in this order of PSRTR1 > PFFRTR1 > BSRTR1 > PSRTR1 > PFFSDR1 > BSSDR1, PSRTR2 > PFFRTR2 > PSSDR2 > BSRTR2 > PFFSDR2 >BSSDR2 and PSRTR3 > PFFRTR3 > PSSDR3 > BSRTR3 > PFFSDR3 > BSSDR3. In this case, the plantain fibre of room dried performance was high compared to others in the packed bed units R1, R2 and R3. The effect of temperature on bio-adsorbent performance in terms of the penetration and diffusion of the fluid from inlet to outlet {residence time) is dependent of temperature and this is a major contributing factors in bio-adsorption. The research work predicted that the best operating temperature for contaminants removal using bio-adsorbent of the ratio of particle size of 1:1:1 mixture of 50µm, 150µm and 200µm was achieve at temperature of 45<sup>o</sup>C. Indeed, this thesis has revealed the significance of temperature effect on bio-adsorbent performance in bioremediation treatment of contaminants in packed bed unitss, especially the effectiveness of plantain fiber.</p>2024-03-22T08:25:03+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Petroleum Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/JoPET/article/view/7741Dynamic Modelling of Natural Draft Cooling Tower (Case Study of Notore Chemical Company)2024-03-22T08:33:12+00:00Ekperi N Ibokings.bestino@gmail.com<p>Determining the impact of air, water, and temperature flow rates on the cooling tower of Notore Chemical Industries is the aim of this study. Using a dynamic and simulation model derived from fundamental ideas, this study produced a model equation for an ordinary differential equation. The Runge-Kulta ODE45 technique, which was implemented in MATLAB R2022A, was then used to solve the model equation.The twenty-four-hour simulation runs at one-hour intervals. To ascertain how modifications to the cooling tower's input parameters may affect its output parameters, sensitivity analysis was conducted. As a consequence of increasing the air mass flow rate at 500 kg/hr intervals, the cooling efficiency, cooling range, and cooling capacity will all improve proportionately, from 0.90 to 0.98. On the other hand, when the mass flow rate of water was increased at intervals of 100 kg/hr, the cooling tower's efficiency decreased from 0.90 to 0.60 in terms of capacity and range. The study concludes that increasing the fill arrangement, tower height, and air flow rate has a good effect on the cooling tower. Since the results support the objectives and aims of the study, they are reliable, sound, and appropriate for use..</p>2024-03-22T08:33:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Petroleum Engineering & Technology
