An Investigation of the Swelling Kinetics of Bentonite Systems Using Particle Size Analysis
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Particles size distribution (PSD) is introduced as a tool for analysis of bentonite aggregation and swelling kinetics. Raw Ca-bentonite was purified using a combined wet sieving and sedimentation processes, followed by ... -
Crossflow Microfiltration of Tight Emulsions and Suspended Colloids by Ceramic Membranes
(2018 , Master Thesis)Produced water is known as the largest waste stream associated with the oil and gas extraction process from onshore and offshore fields; that is found in the form of either oil in water (o/w) or water in oil (o/w) emulsion. ... -
Destabilization and treatment of produced water-oil emulsions using anionic polyacrylamide with electrolyate of aluminum sulphate and ferrous sulphate
( Society of Petroleum Engineers , 2016 , Conference)Surfactant and polymer flooding technology can greatly enhance the oil recovery through the expansion of sweeping and displacing efficiency. The recovered oil from surfactant and polymer flooding emulsifies the residual ... -
Development and Evaluation of Fibrous Fluid Formulations for Horizontal Gas and Oil Well Cleanout
(2021 , Master Thesis)Cuttings substantial buildup on the downside of the wellbore is a challenging problem that encounters oil and gas drilling operations. Field reports indicate that inefficient hole cleaning increases the nonproductive time ... -
Development of Polymeric Crosslinkable Formulations for Conformance Control In Oil and Gas Reservoirs
(2020 , Master Thesis)Excessive water production from oil reservoirs is a main challenge facing the oil and gas industry nowadays. Polymers and crosslinkers are mixed to form gelants that are widely applied to seal water production zones leading ... -
Effect of electrolytes on electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite-polyacrylamide dispersions
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. In this study, the influence of electrolytes on bentonite dispersions flocculated with different polyacrylamides varying in charge type, density and molecular weights has been investigated. The presence ... -
Effects of sodium carbonate addition, heat and agitation on swelling and rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)The effects of the addition of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and the subsequent simultaneous heating and stirring on the rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions have been investigated in this study. Ca-bentonite ... -
Flocculation and viscoelastic behavior of industrial papermaking suspensions
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Article)The effects of the surface charge type and density C496, C492 and A130LMW polyacrylamides (PAMs) on the rheological behavior of real industrial papermaking suspensions were quantitatively related to the degree of flocculation ... -
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article Review)The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ... -
A perforated electrode design for passivation reduction during the electrochemical treatment of produced water
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Produced water refers to the water that is generated when oil and gas are extracted from the ground, and it usually includes the natural water layer within the reservoir (formation water) as well as the injected water. The ... -
Photocatalytic Degradation of Pentachlorophenol Using ZnO Nanoparticles: Study of Intermediates and Toxicity
( Springer International Publishing , 2017 , Article)The photocatalytic degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was carried out using ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of sunlight. The effect of different ZnO NPs sizes was synthesized by sol–gel method as well as loading ... -
Pilot Scale Osmotic Concentration Process for Reducing Wastewater Volumes from Gas Processing Facilities in Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Over the past 10-15 years, there has been increasing attention in the development of forward osmosis (FO) technology as a low-energy technical solution to wastewater treatment through the exploitation of the natural osmosis ... -
Pilot-Scale Investigation of Osmotic Concentration for Reducing Wastewater Injection Volumes in Qatari Gas Fields
(2020 , Master Thesis)In the past 10 years, forward osmosis (FO) has been capturing the attention as a low-energy membrane technology for wastewater reclamation. FO relies on the osmosis phenomenon from osmotic pressure difference across ... -
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide with aqueous solutions of l-Arginine, Glycine & Sarcosine using the stopped flow technique
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)The use of amino acids as potential solvents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture has been considered by a number of researchers. However, very little is known about the kinetics and mechanism of amino acids-CO2 reactions. In ... -
The status of forward osmosis technology implementation
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article Review)The current review appraises the status of forward osmosis (FO) technology implementation and prospective commercial exploitation through examination of its energy consumption and other key process attributes compared with ...
