Investigation of gas-liquid flow using electrical resistance tomography and wavelet analysis techniques for early kick detection
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2021 , Conference Paper)Gas kick is a well control problem and is defined as the sudden influx of formation gas into the wellbore. This sudden influx, if not controlled, may lead to a blowout problem. An accidental spark during a blowout can lead ... -
Magnesium recovery from desalination reject brine as pretreatment for membraneless electrolysis
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Alkali-earth metals pose a significant challenge to water treatment technologies and electrochemical processes due to their propensity to precipitate as metal hydroxides, which can deposit on membranes and/or electrodes ... -
Isolation and Identification of Organics-Degrading Bacteria From Gas-to-Liquid Process Water
