Water flooding is a well-known secondary mechanism for improving oil recovery. Conventional approach to evaluate the performance of a water flooding process (e.g. breakthrough and post breakthrough behavior) is to establish a reliable geological reservoir model, upscale it, and then perform flow simulations. To evaluate the uncertainty in the breakthrough time or post breakthrough behavior, thi...

the miscible displacement process appears to be an increasingly feasible method for the extraction of oil from depleted reservoirs. how­ever, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of how fracture geometrical characteristics impact the oil recovery efficiency in this type of enhanced oil recovery technique. in this work, a series of experimental tests were conducted whereby the n-heptane ...

in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

the emerging contaminants are commonly derived from municipal, agricultural, and industrialwastewater sources and pathways. these compounds are polar and poorly biodegradable. the dynamicremoval of atenolol from aqueous solutions by activated carbon in fixed bed column systems was investigated. as far as we know, this is the first study reporting the decontamination by adsorption in fixed bed o...

the potential of six economically cheap agricultural waste materials, viz. rice husk, betel nutpeels, sugarcane molasses, tea waste, mustard oil cake and saw dust, was investigated for copper and leadremoval from aqueous solutions under batch and continuous conditions. the effect of ph, contact time,sorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration on the uptake of copper and lead was first exam...

Abstract:  In this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13X zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture CO2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. The results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13X zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

OBJECTIVES To develop prognostic models for risk of a breakthrough seizure, risk of seizure recurrence after a breakthrough seizure, and likelihood of achieving 12-month remission following a breakthrough seizure. A breakthrough seizure is one that occurs following at least 12 months remission whilst on treatment. METHODS We analysed data from the SANAD study. This long-term randomised trial ...
