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...

BACKGROUND Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are human-made chemicals widely spread in the environment and produced by petrochemical industries and petroleum refineries. The aim of this research was to evaluate the distribution of VOCs in the ambient air of Mahshahr Petrochemical Complex, Iran. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional research performed in 2009. We used the method numbered 15...

Asphaltene instability is one of the major problems in gas injection projects throughout the world. Numerous models have been developed to predict asphaltene precipitation; The scaling equation is an attractive tool because of its simplicity and not involving complex properties of asphaltene. In this work, a new scaling model is presented to account  for asphaltene precipitation due to gas ...

The article presents the results of a study on development petrochemical industry, which is part structure fuel and energy complex Kazakhstan. industry country carried out through creation cluster construction plants for production products (polyethylene, butadiene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate), are geographically located in western region country, where main hydrocarbon reserves ...

energy, due to its increasing usage in various broad areas has been maintained as a vital factor in economic growth and development of societies. meanwhile, natural gas is considered as one of the most important energy sources. therefore, the efficiency and the productivity of the gas companies are crucial to be assessed. numerous examples from industrial multistage processes including internal...

In this environment, oil and gas companies are seeking opportunities to improve processes and technologies to remain competitive. Upstream oil and gas companies need integrated views of their production processes all the way from the reservoir to the pipeline. They must optimize their processes and perform predictive analysis of production problems to minimize losses. In downstream operations, ...
