The Gas to Gasoline (GTG) process includes conversion of natural, flare, and associated gas into synthetic fuels that can be compositionally upgraded and adjusted into different useful hydrocarbon fuels including gasoline, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel gas. Commonly, the GTG process involves three stages: 1) Synthesis gas (syngas) production unit 2) Methanol production unit 3) Methanol t...

The Twister supersonic separator is a unique combination of known physical processes, combining aerodynamics, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics to produce an innovative gas conditioning process. Condensation and separation at supersonic velocity is the key for achieving a significant reduction in both capital and operating cost. Twister is a proven gas conditioning technology. Condensation and ...

Natural gas is third most used fossil fuel and energy resource in the world, with significant increase its consumption over last 20 years. As a consequence, research optimisation of supply chain processes are becoming increasingly significant. This paper aims to develop conceptual framework for material information flow natural suggests future use. Based on previous researches mapping chain, bu...

Arguably, the natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure in Iran represents one of the largest and most complex mechanical systems in the world. The optimization of large gas trunk lines known as IGAT results in reduced fuel consumption or higher capability and improves pipeline operation. In the current study, a single-objective optimization was conducted for Khormoj compressor station o...

in this study greenhouse tomato production was investigated from energy consumption and greenhouse gas (ghg) emission point of views. moreover, artificial neural networks (anns) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (anfis) were employed to model energy consumption for greenhouse tomato production. total energy input and output were calculated as 1316.14 and 281.1 gj/ha. among the all ener...

introduction energy is one of the most important commodities that make up a large proportion of international trade. among all the countries in the world, iran is known as semi-industrial developing country which is rich in energy such as non-renewable energy in particular fossil fuel. use of energy affects the environment in various forms of pollution. in the agricultural sector, the fao repor...

Carbon disulfide is widely used for the production of viscose rayon, rubber, and other organic materials and it is a feedstock for the synthesis of sulfuric acid. The objective of this paper is to analyze possibilities for efficient production of CS2 from sour natural gas reformation (H2SMR) (2H2S+CH4 =CS2 +4H2) . Also, the effect of H2S to CH4 feed ratio and reaction temperature on carbon disu...

A new mechanism responsible for structural life consumption due to resonant fatigue in turbine blades, or vanes, is presented and explained. A rotating blade or vane in a gas turbine can change its contour due to erosion and/or material build up, in any of these instances, the surface pressure distribution occurring on the suction and pressure sides of blades-vanes can suffer substantial modifi...
