Oil and gas operations have moved from conventional petroleum reserves to unconventional petroleum reserves such as remote offshore, deep Ocean and the Arctic. The management of oil spills is especially challenging due to these conditions. Oil spills are typically due to vessels accidents, tanker discharges, wells, offshore platforms, drilling wastes, or release of refined petroleum products and their...
Solid alkali catalyst was prepared with CH3COONa immobilized on alumina by impregnation method. Represented with SEM, IR and BET techniques, the catalysts indicated relatively uniform particle size distribution with perfect particle surface area, pore volume and pore size. Soybean oil was catalyzed to investigate the catalysis characteristics. The results showed that the maximum conversion rate of...
To screen potential oleaginous microorganisms for production of microbial lipid, thirty-one yeast strains from forest soils collected from Hunan Province, China, were tested for their potentiality to produce microbial lipid, and fourteen potential strains were further screened. The results showed that yeast strain SCIM 2.012 displayed the most potential ability in producing microbial lipid, the lipid...
In biodiesel industry there is a need to detect interfacing layer between biodiesel and glycerine after the transesterification and interfacing layer between water and biodiesel after the washing process. The detection of these two interfaces is important for separation process. In this work, a simple, low cost, and accurate microwave reflection type system for production of coconut biodiesel has...
