[ 1 ] - Plant-wide Simulation of an Integrated Zero-Emission Process to ‎Convert Flare Gas to Gasoline

The Gas to Gasoline (GTG) process includes conversion of natural, flare, and associated gas into synthetic fuels that can be compositionally upgraded and adjusted into different useful hydrocarbon fuels including gasoline, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel gas. Commonly, the GTG process involves three stages: 1) Synthesis gas (syngas) production unit 2) Methanol production unit 3) Methanol t...

[ 2 ] - Application of an Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System and Mathematical Rate of Penetration Models to Predicting Drilling Rate

The rate of penetration (ROP) is one of the vital parameters which directly affects the drilling time and costs. There are various parameters that influence the drilling rate; they include weight on bit, rotational speed, mud weight, bit type, formation type, and bit hydraulic. Several approaches, including mathematical models and artificial intelligence have been proposed to predict the rate o...

[ 3 ] - Transparent Machine Learning Algorithm Offers Useful Prediction Method for Natural Gas Density

Machine-learning algorithms aid predictions for complex systems with multiple influencing variables. However, many neural-network related algorithms behave as black boxes in terms of revealing how the prediction of each data record is performed. This drawback limits their ability to provide detailed insights concerning the workings of the underlying system, or to relate predictions to specific ...
