Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...

In the current state of huge waste production and energy crisis, there is a need to find additional alternate resources options for management. The present study was designed measure potential different fruit wastes serve as substrate lipid accumulation in oleaginous bacteria. For this purpose, three novel bacterial strains (AF3, KM1 KM10) isolated from crude oil samples were systematically com...

The aim of this study is to analyze the exergetic, environmental, and economic impact electrification a bio-refinery plant, considering application Mechanical Vapor Compression (MVC) conventional water–ethanol distillation column in context bioethanol production. process was implemented AspenPlus® Aspen Exchange Design Rating (EDR) simulation environments, where sensitivity analysis also carrie...

Cascading keeps wood in products for a longer duration and delays the embedded biogenic carbon emission. Carbon is kept out of atmosphere longer, giving forests time to sequester equivalent amounts carbon. The storage period needed same amount affect GWP - an aspect often overlooked LCA. This study compares alternative cascading scenarios producing biochemicals fuel – examine influence rate flo...

High-throughput microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) were used to perform treatability studies on many different refinery wastewater samples all having appreciably different characteristics, which resulted in large differences in current generation. A de-oiled refinery wastewater sample from one site (DOW1) produced the best results, with 2.1±0.2 A/m(2) (maximum current density), 79% chemical ox...

This work addresses the large-scale crude oil scheduling problem of China’s SINOPEC Maoming refinery importing various types of crude oil from two terminals via long-distance pipelines. A hierarchical decomposition approach is employed to construct a two-stage MILP model of the practical refinery operations. In the upper level model, storage and charging tanks are aggregated to determine the in...

This paper discusses the application of control loop performance assessment (Desborough and Harris, 1992) in a refinery setting. In a large process it is not feasible to tailor the parameters of the algorithm to every individual control loop. A procedure is illustrated for selecting default values which make it possible to implement the technology on a refinery-wide scale. For instance, it is s...
