Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydrocarbons in Soil from Basra Oil-Rich GovernorateAli Abdul Al-Zahra Douabul, Wisam Abdul Ameer Farid, Hamid Talib Al-Saad, Sama Sameer AlMaarofiBasra is a rich-oil region; its soil is expected to be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. However, there is no previous study that has estimated the levels of hydrocarbons in Basra soil. After 2003 numerous operations by several international oil companies are underway. Therefore, the determination of background levels of petroleum hydrocarbons is a priority from environmental point of view. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling Malaysia's Energy System: Some Preliminary ResultsAhmad Mohd. YusofProblem statement: The current dynamic and fragile world energy environment necessitates the development of new energy model that solely caters to analyze Malaysia’s energy scenarios. Approach: The model is a network flow model that traces the flow of energy carriers from its sources (import and mining) through some conversion and transformation processes for the production of energy products to final … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2011 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCondoms-As Sources of Extracellular Enzyme Producing MicrobesMadhusmita Mishra, Poulomi Nandy, Sarvani Debsarma et al.Problem statement: Condoms are widely used birth control measures which are made of natural latex or synthetic materials like polyurethane or polyisoprene as matrix with lubricants added to make them ready to use commodities. Absence of sterilization method along with presence of lubricant like petroleum jelly (that are applied on the outer surface), prompted the investigators to look for microbes … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Transporting System Model for Oil RefineryRazman Mat Tahar, Waleed K. AbduljabbarProblem statement: Oil refineries are widely used to store various liquids and gases. Petroleum products are in high demand. Oil companies have abundant resources of petroleum products in pipelines and storage tanks. Approach: Included are storage tanks at retail gasoline station, home heating oil tanks, lubricant storage at automotive service facilities, propane tanks in all sorts of application, and oil … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization of Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer to Analyze Heavy Metals in Moss SamplesMohd Zahari Abdullah, Ahmad Saat, Zaini HamzahProblem statement: Mosses had been widely used as bioindicator especially to study the levels of trace metals pollutants in the surrounding ambient air because of their high efficiency to accumulate heavy metals contamination. There had been increasing demand to get a suitable analytical tools to determine the chemical contents of moss samples in this type of media. This study was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLess Biased Approach for Sandstone Pore SegmentationDaffa Abiyyu Murtadha Kurnia, Iman Herwidiana KartowisastroReservoir characterization is a fundamental process in estimating reserves within petroleum and hydrogeological systems, where the precise determination of pore space dictates the validity of fluid flow models. Although X-Ray Computerized Tomography (XRCT) has become the standard non-destructive evaluation method for visualizing the internal structure of rocks, the data interpretation process still faces challenges during the image segmentation stage. Conventional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2026 · 1,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Laboratory Measured and PVTP Software DataOluwasanmi Samuel Teniola, Mercy Isaiah OkegbemiCubic Equations of State (EOS), including the Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) models, are foundational in petroleum engineering for modeling the thermodynamic behavior of hydrocarbon systems. These EOS are widely used to predict phase behavior and Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) properties, which are crucial for reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and enhanced oil recovery. However, their predictive accuracy diminishes when applied to complex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2025 · 2,769 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Sediments of Shatt Al-Arab River, Southern Iraq, North East Arabian GulfWisam Abdul-Ameer FaridShatt Al-Arab River is one of the important rivers for water supply, industry and irrigation in Basrah City, south of Iraq. It's also supply drinking water to users in the region. Despite the significance of this river, there is a lack of previous studies dealing with petroleum pollution especially for geochemical studies of organic matter in the river sediments using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 29 Jan 2018 · 7,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Properties of Biopolymers from Corn Starch with Addition of Microalgae Spirulina platensisJúllia Koury Abreu, Loraynne Coelho Pereira, José Izaquiel Santos da SilvaThe discovery of the environmental impacts caused by petroleum-based polymers has led to the use of natural polymers gaining more and more space. Naturally occurring polymers, also known as biopolymers, are chemical compounds produced by living things or raw materials from renewable energy sources. Their main advantage is decomposition, while polymers from fossil and non-renewable energies can take hundreds of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2023 · 6,032 accessesView PDFCite
