Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Toolkit Approach for Carbon Capture and Storage in Offshore Depleted Gas FieldRaj Deo Tewari, Tan Chee Phuat, Mohd Faizal SedaralitFossil fuels are considered a dependable, cost-effective, and efficient energy source and their utilization has resulted in tremendous growth for humanity. However, it has its downside also. Experts are of the view that present energy systems are unsustainable due to their detrimental impacts on the environment. Oil and gas producers are charged that their infrastructure, utilization of materials and technologies … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 May 2023 · 6,196 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong Term Ageing Effect on Physical and Shear Strength Characteristics of Oil Contaminated Sandy Soils of Al-Ahmadi Field in KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Al-OtaibiSerious environmental damage was caused to Kuwait when more than 600 oil wells were set alight following the 1991 Gulf War, leading to hydrocarbon contamination and a series of ‘oil lakes’ being created in the desert. The effects of these highly damaging actions are still detectable today, 27 years later. The main contribution of this paper is that the effects … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2019 · 8,060 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrain Size Distribution Characteristics Variation in Oily Contaminated Sandy Soils Due to Long Term Aging Effect in Al-Ahmadi Field at KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Alotaibi, Farraj F. Al-ajmiAlmost three decades on, the negative environmental impacts arising from the burning of over 600 oil wells in Kuwait following the 1991 Gulf War are still evident. At the time of the incident, the Kuwaiti desert region became polluted with hydrocarbon, with a number of ‘oil lakes’ forming, causing critical harm to local land. This paper discusses the shifts in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 23 Nov 2018 · 8,409 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Signal Detection of Sensor Array Units Using 5-3-1 Rule Based Matched Filter Algorithm with Intelligent IdentifiersMahmoud Z. IskandaraniA novel approach to signal detection and identification was developed and tested. The new algorithm was based on provision of tagging a Matched Filter (MF) with identifiers to recognize the source signal with and without noise, so that classification can be carried out. The algorithm was applied successfully to chemical Sensor Array Units (SAU). Problem statement: Signals obtained from chemical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,835 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Assessment and Monitoring of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for the Remediation of a Contaminated SiteValerio Zolla, Rajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaThe present study illustrates the long-term monitoring plan carried out in order to investigate the performance of a zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at a chlorinated solvents’ site. The cleanup intervention has been undertaken at an industrial landfill located near the city of Turin (Italy) and represents the first full-scale application of this technology in Italy. The monitoring plan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,438 accessesView PDF Cite
