Abstract — The Ethylene production process is one of the most important aspects of a petrochemical plant. The bulk of the worldwide annual commercial production of Ethylene is based on thermal cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons with steam. This process is commonly called Steam cracking process. This article deals with Amir Kabir Petrochemical Olefin Furnaces that are located in special region o...

Hydrocarbons are widespread in the environment, but because of the massive utilization of petroleum products, they are nowadays strongly involved in environmental pollution. Bioremediation is the obliging technology for the treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. Therefore, to investigate the potential of petrochemical hydrocarbon (HC)-degrading indigenous microorganisms in wastewater samp...

In the area of a petrochemical industrial site, ten monitoring stations are established to determine airborne pollutants that emitted, which include criteria air and 54 species ozone formation precursors volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The hourly increased by human activities, such as traffic flow after 7:00 a.m., becomes more abundant solar radiation increases in intensity. Monthly present ...

This paper addresses the social resonances to complex causes, effects, and feedback of land loss in southern Louisiana, particularly with respect region’s vulnerability impacts anthropogenic climate change, especially against backdrop consequences side effects resident petrochemical industry. Using empirical findings from an online discussion about coastal talks people different perceptions aff...

Title: Meteorologically estimated exposure but not distance predicts asthma symptoms in schoolchildren in the environs of a petrochemical refinery: a cross-sectional study Jim te Water Naude Dr ([email protected]) Anita van der Walt Dr. ([email protected]) Grant Ravenscroft Mr.

The growing global demand for sustainable technologies that improves the efficiency of petrochemical processes in the oil industry has driven advances in petroleum biotechnology in recent years. Petroleum industry uses substantial amounts of petrochemical-based synthetic surfactants in its activities as mobilizing agents to increase the availability or recovery of hydrocarbons as well as many o...

Petrochemical industry generates highly toxic effluents with a large variety of chemicals, being most of them recalcitrant and toxic such as: organic chlorinated compounds (mainly 1,2 dichloroethane) and volatile and semivolatile organic compounds. The most common wastewater treatment systems used in Mexico to treat this kind of effluents are activated sludge and aerated lagoons. Treatibility s...

Introduction: A two-shift work schedule with different rotations is common among firefighters in Iranian petrochemical companies. This study compared salivary melatonin and sleepiness on the last night before turning to day shift at 19:00, 23:00, 3:00, and 7:00 among petrochemical firefighters (PFFs) working seven and four consecutive night shifts. Methods: Sixty four PFFs working in the petroc...

BACKGROUND Petrochemical industry is one of the fastest growing industries. This industry has immense importance in the growth of economy and manufacture of large varieties of chemicals. The petrochemical industry is a hazardous group of industry generating hazardous waste containing organic and inorganic compounds. In spite of the present treatment process, the hazardous waste compounds are fo...
