Coconut oil extraction involves several stages and each of these require different machine, therefore, the objective this research work is to develop a low-cost integrated unit machine for coconut using standard procedures. The process cutting mechanism with help transmission belt pulley slice meat. chip heated by heating system after which it pressed. drops on tray, passes through tray tank. A...

Oil is the most widely distributed source of energy in the world and the largest-scaled environmental pollutant. Oil, oil products, and oil-containing industrial wastes pollution is ranked second place after radioactive pollution on account of their harmful action to ecosystems (Chernyakhovsky et al., 2004). Oil deposits in Russia are mainly located in the northern regions of the European part ...

Radar has been used for remote sensing and surveillance for decades. Nowadays radar remote sensing and radar surveillance is used for many different things in the modern society. Radar can sense objects or environments from very long distance. Electromagnetic radar waves can work where and when light cannot. This unique ability of radar made remote sensing techniques available in research and i...

Biocrude (fast pyrolysis oil from wood) was hydrotreated to minimize the negative aspects of this fuel. The instability of the oil was reduced by reaction of the most unstable functional groups. Concurrently, the oxygenated component of the oil was also reduced, resulting in an improved energy density. Changes in the physical handling properties were also modified. All of this change was accomp...

The cost of chemicals prohibits many technically feasible enhanced oil recovery methods to be applied in oil fields. It is shown that by-products from oil palm processing can be a source of valuable chemicals. Analysis of the pyrolysis oil from oil palm shells, a by-product of the palm oil industry, reveals a complex mixture of mainly phenolic compounds, carboxylic acids, and aldehydes. The phe...

Borehole magnetic resonance (MR) is routinely used to estimate the viscosity of light oil, even when it is mixed with water in the pore space of reservoir rock. However light oil methods are inadequate when oil viscosity is above several thousand mPa-s. There have been a number of publications relating magnetic resonance measurements to heavy oil viscosity, but the correlations proposed have no...

Background: Clearing is an important step in the preparation of histological sections, that removes alcohol and other dehydrants from tissues prior to infiltration of the embedding material (usually paraffin wax).Different types of clearing agents are chloroform, Xylene, Toluene, Paraffin, Methyl benzoate and methyl salicylate & Citrus fruit oils.The commonly used clearing agent is xylene that ...

A typical crude oil supply chain consists of production oilfields, processing terminals, storage facilities and refineries, interconnected by means of pipelines. In processing terminals, different varieties of base crude-oils are received, processed and blended in order to produce commercial varieties which are exported and/or sent to refineries. In the last decade, very few contributions have ...
