this research was done in order to determine the basic criteria for “tehran oil refinery effluemt treatmentunit” to prove the feasibility of the application of powdered activated carbon in aeration zone of activated sludge system. the main stages of this research included: determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of raw wastewater preparation of two pilot scale units of act...

developing countries that have almost oil reserves have no enough mega projects' management ability, technology and finance resources to manage and finish a mega project. host countries for achievement these technologies and resources have to cooperate with foreign and international companies.  different contractual frameworks are used in conjunction with obtaining these technologies and c...

As oil and gas production moves to ever more challenging areas, increased use of technology becomes increasingly important. One technology that can contribute towards achieving safe and economic production from such areas is computer-aided process engineering. We outline the use of such technology in two (of many) instances: Managed pressure drilling (MPD) for deep-offshore applications and nat...

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a tertiary oil recovery method that utilizes microbes to enhance oil production. This research was focused on the isolation and characterization of indigenous bacteria from a South Sumatra’s oilfield which were able to degrade heavy crude oil and decrease oil viscosity. The total of 33 colonies were successfully isolated based on sequential isolation me...

A rapid identification method of transgenic rapeseed oil based on near infrared spectroscopy was proposed. As transgenic food attracted more and more attention and in order to meet the requirement about labeling transgenic food, an accurate, fast, easy, efficient and low cost detection technology is needed. In this study, 117 rapeseed oil samples (including 64 non-transgenic rapeseed oil and 53...

The oil industry needs solid and reliable materials in almost all processes. By making nano-scale materials, lighter, more robust, and more robust equipment than today's products can be produced. Nanotechnology in the field of oil industry and its related industries, in addition to reducing the environmental hazards of this sector and the possibility of saving from harvesting of underground res...

The aim, in almost all industries, is to have a high level of automation to increase productivity and efficiency. Industrial robots, which have been one important technology enabler in achieving this aim, are designed to perform repetitive, heavy, dirty and dangerous tasks. Within the oil and gas industry, robots have been used in very specific niche applications where the main driver has been ...

Oil prices remained relatively low but volatile in the 2015-17 period, largely due to declining and uncertain demand from China. This follows a prolonged decline from around $110 per barrel in June 2014 to below $30 in January 2016, due in large part to increased supply of shale oil in the US, which was spurred by the development of fracking technology. Most dynamic Cournot models focus on supp...
