Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA NOVEL ARTIFICIAL HYDROCARBON NETWORKS BASED SPACE VECTOR PULSE WIDTH MODULATION CONTROLLER FOR INDUCTION MOTORSHiram Ponce, Luis Ibarra, Pedro Ponce, Arturo MolinaMost of machine-operated industrial processes implement electric machinery as their work sources, implying the necessary improvement of control techniques and power electronics drivers. Many years have passed since the control conflicts related to induction motors have been overcome through torque-flux control techniques so their advantages over direct current motors have made them to be the most common electric actuator found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePetroleum Hydrocarbon Pollution of Mangrove Swamps: The Promises of Remediation by Enhanced Natural AttenuationF. A. Orji, A. A. Ibiene, O. C. UgboguProblem statement: The Remediation by Enhanced Natural Attenuation (RENA) is currently being used as a cleanup technology in polluted environments in the Niger Delta and other parts of the globe. The effectiveness of RENA as a remediation technology in the most recent time has been challenged by few authorities. The deleterious effects of pollutants on the environment have led to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 May 2012 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFully Integrated Hydrocarbon Reservoir Studies: Myth or Reality?Christoforos Benetatos, Dario VibertiProblem statement: In the petroleum industry and especially during reservoir studies, data coming from different disciplines must be combined in order to generate a model that is representative of the reservoir being studied and can be used for defining the most viable development strategy of the field from both an economic and technical standpoint. Each of these disciplines represents an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 9,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction and Characterization of Hydrocarbon Degrading Peroxidase from Rhizopus and Saccharomyces SpeciesFerdinand U. Paschaline, Onyeocha O. Ignatius, Ezeji E. Uchechukwu et al.The production, characterization and partial purification of hydrocarbon degrading peroxidase from di-culture of Rhizopus and Saccharomyces species was assessed. The fungi were isolated from hydrocarbon polluted soil and identified using standard microbiological and biochemical techniques. Fermentation was carried out for enzyme production and the extracellular extract was precipitated with 50% ammonium sulphate salts and further purified by gel filtrationusing sephadex … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2019 · 7,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermo-Acoustic Water Analyzer in Hydrocarbon Emulsions with Kalman FilterMohammad A. Al-Khedher, Tariq M. Younes, Mohammad A.K. AliaProblem statement: Water detection in hydrocarbon emulsions represents a serious challenge in petroleum production industry. The elemenation of measurment noises is also desired. Approach: In this study, a systematic and an applicable method of water detection in hydrocarbon emulsion is achieved using thermoacoustic effect. A Kalman filter is applied to correct measurement errors and to improve accuracy. Results: The study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydrocarbon Biodegrading Potentials of a Proteus vulgaris Strain Isolated from Fish SamplesPatience O. Olajide, L. B. OgbeifunA Proteus vulgaris bacterium SR-1 was isolated from a freshly killed fish sample collected close to the point of crude oil spill in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria. Problem statement: The application of native bacterial species in bioremediation processes has long been desired, because they would be cost effective and efficient in terms of acclimation time. The ability to isolate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGreen Methodologies to Test Hydrocarbon ReservoirsFrancesca Verga, Vera RoccaProblem statement: The definition and the economic viability of the best development strategy of a hydrocarbon reservoir mainly depend on the quantity and type of fluids and on the well productivity. Well testing, consisting in producing hydrocarbon to the surface while measuring the pressure variations induced in the reservoir, has been used for decades to determine the fluid nature and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of a Fully Coupled Approach for Evaluation of Wellbore Stability in Hydrocarbon ReservoirsVera RoccaProblem statement: When a well is drilled in a hydrocarbon reservoir, the original thermodynamic conditions are altered, the natural stresses are redistributed and a stress concentration occurs around the hole. The alteration of the original equilibrium can lead to wellbore damage, sometimes to its complete collapse. Loss of time associated with stability problems is estimated to account for 12-15% of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProper Management of Planetary Hydrocarbon ResourcesFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuMuch has been said about the planet's gas and oil resources and many assumptions and speculations have been made regarding their rapid depletion, but a report on the normal and judicious management of these important planetary resources for both energy and other various materials that are obtained today from them, such as composites, synthetic fibers for fabrics, plastics, rubber produced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 May 2020 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
