Summary Anaerobic digestion plays an essential role in decomposing organic waste and converting it into valuable products, ensuring sustainability through waste management, recycling nutrients, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve efficient degradation of organic matter, various types of microorganisms are utilized, each with a specific function in the anaerobic digestion process. The process consists […]
Summary Regular inspections are critical in ensuring the integrity and safety of oil and gas storage tanks. Neglecting inspections can lead to significant risks and consequences. Visual inspections are essential for assessing the overall condition of the tanks, covering both external and internal components and accessories. Following recommended procedures and best practices is crucial to […]
Summary In response to the world’s demand for sustainable energy sources, biofuels have arisen as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. The journey begins with the first-generation biofuels derived from food-based crops such as sugarcane and corn. These biofuels have advantages over conventional fuels but face challenges due to their competition with food and limited […]
Summary Natural gas is among the conventional fossil fuels which remain the global primary energy source. Moreover, the demand for natural gas is anticipated to increase in the coming decades. However, due to low energy density and high storage costs, natural gas consumption has not met its full potential. In some commercial practices, natural gas […]
Summary Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is crucial to recovering oil from mature reservoirs. This step can be broken down into thermal or non-thermal processes. Thermal approaches include injecting hot water or steam, electrical heating, and in-situ combustion. Likewise, non-thermal can be split into chemical or gas injection methods. For the extraction of light or medium […]
Summary Meeting the growing energy demands of the modern world has become a pressing challenge. The availability of conventional fossil fuels is becoming increasingly limited. Still, there are growing concerns about the environmental impact of fossil fuel emissions. Biodiesel is among the most prominent biofuels due to its environmental and technical advantages over petroleum diesel. […]
Introduction The discovery of Crude Oil, in the Nineteenth century, fortuitously coincided with the invention of the internal combustion engine and its deployment in automobiles, industrial engines and aircraft. These developments propelled the industrialized world from the era of Coal dependency to the modern Petroleum-fueled era. Over the past 150 years, Crude Oil has become […]
Introduction Plastics have become an essential aspect of modern life. They play a valuable role in packaging, consumer products, industrial products, transportation, infrastructure and agriculture sectors. However, the uncontrolled accumulation of waste plastics in the environment is a matter of deep concern. It may be recalled that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a […]
Introduction Green Hydrogen is projected to be a significant component of the global energy mix, as the world shifts to low-Carbon fuels and sustainable energy sources. Green Hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of Water, utilizing renewable electricity, to ensure that the production process is free from Carbon Dioxide emissions. The global demand for Hydrogen […]
