Inhibition of Inorganic Oilfield Scales: Theoretical Investigation
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Scale deposition is a critical issue in the oil and gas exploration and production processes causing significant blocking in the tubing and consequently flow assurance and economic losses. Most studies addressing the scale ...
Thermodynamic Analysis of Full Scale Baseload LNG Chain
(Environmental Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
The world’s growing energy demand and the need for low-carbon energy
sources are key factors that have made natural gas (NG) an attractive energy source
compared to other available fossil fuels (i.e. coal and oil). ...
Relating Representative Elementary Volume of Tortuosity to That of Porosity as Revealed from Computed Tomography Images
(Environmental Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Tortuosity and porosity are significant micro-scale parameters that have a major
impact on many environmental processes and engineering applications that are usually
implemented at a macroscopic scale. Thus, it is ...
Experimental Assessment of Forward Osmosis Membrane System for Separation of Suspended Colloids
(Environmental Engineering, 2020 , Master Thesis)
The formation of the stable suspended colloids is well known in many industrial
applications, whether you are in the wastewater treatment, dairy, chemical refinery, or food
processing and production industry. Always ...
Influence of Polyelectrolyte’s Architecture On the Electro Kinetics and Rheological Behavior of Industrial Membrane Bioreactor Activated Sludge
(Environmental Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a recent biological treatment process in many
industrial and municipal industries that has been implemented to overcome the current
difficulties of activated sludge (AS) processes for ...
Use of Algae for Removing Heavy Metal Ions from Industrial Wastewater
(Environmental Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
The presence of heavy metal ions in the environment has been a big challenge facing the
world due to its harmful effect on the health of humans even at low concentrations. There
are various treatment techniques that ...
Coupled CFD-DEM Parallel Model to Describe Fines Migration Behavior at the Pore-Scale
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Transport of fine particles in porous media has attracted considerable interest over the past few decades. In various fields of science and engineering, on-site remediation strategies, enhanced transport of contaminants ...
Development of novel magnetic bentonite based adsorbents combined with different carbon sources for removal of oil content from produced water
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Water scarcity is a challenge faced worldwide due to depleting sustainable good quality water resources. Produced water, associated with the production of gas and oil, usually comes as oil contaminated water, creating real ...
Developing a Framework for Optimal Performance of Activated Carbon/ Graphene Oxide/Activated Carbon-Graphene Oxide Nano Adsorbent for the Removal of Antibiotics from Wastewater
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Antibiotics are important drugs for treating infectious diseases and they have undoubtedly saved the lives of millions of people. A growing global problem is the emergence of antibiotic resistance, which means that the ...
Characterizing trapped NAPL in pore networks of unconsolidated sand using synchrotron micro-computed tomography
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
The purpose of this research paper was to determine the correlation of occupancy percentage against the pore radius and coordination numbers for each pore space. X-ray micro-computed tomography images were taken for the ...
