Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Air Quality in Kuwait Urban and Industrial AreasHamad B Matar, Talal Almutairi, Nayef Z. Al-MutairiThis paper describes the research carried out to investigate air quality in Kuwait. It examined the results of several years of pollutants data provided by Kuwait Environment Public Authority. The data were obtained from a number of fix monitoring stations. The results of the time series analysis have shown that monitored exposures vary substantially and are unique to the location … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 8 Apr 2020 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Treated Wastewater in Terms of Environmental StandardsSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Hossein Gholami, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariThe desired use of refined wastewater has not yet found its proper place in many countries, therefore, achieving a relative equilibrium in the field of urban wastewater evacuation and re-utilizing it is a fundamental principle. And this great matter is not possible except by developing a comprehensive refinery waste management system. The set of measures that have been taken so … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Sep 2019 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGaussian Dispersion Model to Estimate the Dispersion of Particulate Matters (Pm2.5) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Concentrations on Tribal Land, OklahomaDejene Alemayehu, Francine HackettAir quality in most parts of Kay County is good and unlikely to cause major health problems. However, Kaw Nation wants to know if the concentration of Particulate matters (PM2.5) and Sulfur dioxide (SO2) released from power plants, refinery and carbon black plant in Oklahoma reaches the Tribal land at Kanza Travel Plaza, Braman, Kay Co. Oklahoma. Kanza Travel Plaza … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 8 Dec 2015 · 7,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of a Two Unit Standby Oil Delivering System with a Provision of Switching Over to another System at Need to Increase the AvailabilityUpasana Sharma, Rekha, Gulshan TanejaProblem statement: The study deals with a standby system consisting of two units. Initially one unit is operative and the other is standby. When both the units are failed then there is a provision of switching over to the other similar system. This practical situation may be observed in an oil refinery plant. Real data on failure and repair rates … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Refineries Emissions Impact on Urban Localities Using AERMODAmira Mohamed Wahba Abdelrasoul, Amir AL-Hadad, Abdul Rehman KhanProblem statement: The absolute necessity of compulsory fuel utilities, no matter small or big has resulted into substantial high hazards pollutants. Petroleum refineries are major industrial installations that are necessary for providing the best suited fuel for various necessary utilities, but are responsible of the emission of several hazardous pollutants into the atmosphere. Hydrocarbons are among the most perilous air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Bio-Oil into High-Value Hydrocarbons via HydrodeoxygenationMurni M. Ahmad, M. Fitrir R. Nordin, M. Tazli AzizanProblem statement: World energy consumption is forecasted to grow significantly for the foreseeable future with fossil fuel remains the governing energy source. The demand in the need to explore alternative fuel source was further triggered by the overwhelmingly inconsistent cost of gasoline. Bio-oil is an alternative energy source produced from pyrolysis of biomass. However it is undesirable as a ready … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeoiling and Regeneration Efficiencies of Spent Bleaching ClayA. W. Nursulihatimarsyila, K. Y. Cheah, T. G. Chuah et al.Problem statement: Disposal and reuse of Spent Bleaching Clay (SBC) from palm oil processing industry is a problem of growing importance. The residual oil in the SBC can be recovered using hexane as solvent. Approach: In this study, the effect of different solid to solvent ratio on the deoiling efficiency of SBC samples from palm oil refinery and palm kernel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Three Bacteria Consortium for the Bioremediation of Crude Petroleum-oil in Contaminated WaterAbdualdaim Mohammed Mukred, Aidil Abd Hamid, Ainon Hamzah, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffWe have to developed active microbial consortium that could be of higher degradation of crude oil contaminated groundwater, wastewater aeration pond and biopond at the oil refinery Terengganu Malaysia. Among four isolates that showed good growth only three different isolates (Acinetobacter faecalis WD2, Staphylococcus. sp DD3 and Neisseria elongate TDA4.) were selected based on the growth ability and degradation. Significant … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Typical Case Study: Solid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanThe current environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. Solid refinery waste is cocktail of hydrocarbons, water, heavy metal and fine solids and is substantial in quantity. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,767 accessesView PDFCite
