Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ...
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 ...
Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected ...
CO2 sorption kinetics of scaled-up polyethylenimine-functionalized mesoporous silica sorbent
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethylenimine, PEI (Mn ∼ 423 and 10K), impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam prepared in kilogram quantities via a scale-up process were synthesized and systematically characterized ...
Electrostatic phase separation: A review
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article Review)
The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids following the last review on the topic some 15 ...
