Protecting environment and assuring efficient energy transfer using ionic liquids
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline compounds that are formed when small gas molecules get trapped within the water molecules under high pressure and low-temperature conditions in oil and gas transmission lines. The ...
Development of Green Inhibitors to Prevent Hydrates Formation, Protect Environment and Reduce Energy Cost in Oil and Gas Industry
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Gas hydrates are identified as ice-liked solid, crystalline compounds having polyhedral water cavities, where gas molecules get trapped during operation under high pressure and low temperature condition. These hydrates ...
Ionic Liquids as Multi-purpose Inhibitors to avoid Natural Gas Hydrates during Gas Processing
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The issue of hydrate formation during gas processing is a challenging problem for the oil and gas industries. Billions of dollars spent annually to get rid of the blockage of pipelines due to hydrate clogging by applying ...

The thermodynamic inhibition (TI) and kinetic inhibition (KI) effect of pyrrolidinium based Ionic liquids (ILs) 1-Methyl-1-Propyl-pyrrolidinium Chloride [PM-Py][Cl] and 1-Methyl-1-Propyl-pyrrolidinium Triflate [PM-Py][Triflate] ...
Enhancing hydrate inhibition performance of biomolecules by doping with synergents
(
AIChE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The thermodynamic and kinetic inhibition effectiveness of the selected amino acids (AA): L-Alanine, Glycine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine and L-Asparagine have been tested on the pure methane gas at different concentrations ...
Rheological characterization of NA2CO3 activated calcium bentonite for oil and gas drilling applications
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Calcium bentonite was activated with soda ash (Na2CO3) at various ratios and due to the ion exchange; the original Ca-bentonite was converted to Na-bentonite. It was found that the Na2CO3 activation improves the swelling ...
Effectiveness of pyrrolidinium based ionic liquids in flow assurance: Preventing hydrates formation in offshore sub-sea pipelines
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The formation of hydrates within the offshore subsea pipelines is a major challenge to flow assurance in oil and gas industry. Annually, the industry spends large amount of money on thermodynamic inhibitors like methanol ...
