Nitrogen Removal % in Production Gas and Reject gas in Flare Gas. Pressure and Flow Rate are the two main factors that improved the Nitrogen Removal % and Reject gas in Flare Gas removal while Temperature is the actual factor. The optimal conditions are a Pressure (750 psig), Temperature (125 F), Flow Rate (80 MMSCFD) in this method. Nitrogen removal % and reject gas in flare gas removal rates are 5.11 % and 8.522 %, respectively. Using Nitrogen Recovery Unit (NRU) and treating the natural gas with minimum inlet flow rate, the output result generates the procedure to be a different natural gas Processing treatment.

Research paper thumbnail of Issues and challenges in RSSI based target localization and tracking in wireless sensor networks

The major approaches for target localization & tracking in a defined WSN are Range Based, Range Free, Prediction Filter based Approaches aimed at achieving either Localization & Tracking accuracy or Energy Efficiency or Security or combination of these depending upon application at hand. Besides other range based techniques (TOA, TDOA, AOA) aimed at localization/tracking, RSSI-based approach is most widely used in spite of various challenges associated with it. The most important reason is that it does not need the extra hardware as most of electronic gadgets have built-in RSSI Circuitry to read RSS. By exploiting this RSSI measurement, one can find distance between transmitter & receiver using a suitable mathematical model of signal attenuation. However due to high dynamicity of wireless environment, the RSSI measurements are notoriously unpredictable. This paper discusses the RSSI based localization & tracking problem in detail & also surveys various other solutions proposed by the research community in the domain. Recent strategies to improve localization accuracy & tracking accuracy in RSSI based systems especially for dynamic environments & open research issues are also discussed as well.

Vegetable oils are the fats and lipids containing triglyceride molecules. Due to the increase in environmental issues like waste disposal problems, non-biodegradable resources, greenhouse effect, etc. and the reduction of petroleum oil resources, renewable oils from vegetable origin have become an important issue. The lubricants from renewable resources are a successful reality in many parts of the world. Vegetable oils have many advantages such as high flash point, high viscosity index, high lubricity and low evaporative loss besides Eco-compatible, renewability and non-toxicity. This paper reviews the methods that are recently been practiced for the epoxidation of vegetable oils.

Natural gas produces more energy than any of the fossil fuels. Although the primary use of natural gas is as a fuel, it is also a source of hydrocarbons for petrochemical feedstocks and a major source of elemental sulfur, an important industrial chemical. The process simulation and optimization of natural gas dehydration process including mono ethylene glycol (MEG) injection and its regeneration process is studied in this research work. This study also carried out the operation parameters and optimization. The simulation is carried out using Aspen-HYSYS. The effect of replacement MEG by DEG and influence of replacement of Chiller by a turbo expander refrigeration technique on the DPCU operation was studied. The result obtained for optimum parameters like inlet pressure and temperature of the LTS are studied and comparing chiller and expander to maximize NGL are presented. The study recommends to use the expander instead ...

The chemistry of the ocean is closely tied to ocean circulation, climate, plant and animals that live in the ocean. Now it is necessary to take care of our ocean as it covers 71% of the land on the earth by chemical oceanography. It also studies the chemical oceanography at different oceans around the world. Climate-induced forcing of upwelling trends can alter the zooplankton community in this highly productive region with potential consequences for the ecosystem food web. It studies biogeochemistry, a systems science closely related to systems ecology.

Research paper thumbnail of Experimental Investigations of the Removal of Methylene Blue from Waste Water using Agricultural Adsorbant

Int. J. of Membrane Science and Technology

Due to the large volume of dye use in these businesses, a significant quantity of wastewater containing colored organics is generated. Because of insufficient dyefiber fixation, during the dyeing process, half of the dye is lost in the wastewater. Peanut and rice husk are used to absorb MB from water. Initial Methylene Blue concentration, Peanut and Rice Husk dose, and pH were monitored and compared to current adsorbents to identify the optimal removal conditions. The equilibrium amount of MB adsorbed at time t (min) for rice husk and peanut hull are obtained as 5.1 and 5.19 mg/g respectively. As part of the research, an intra-particle diffusion model was implemented to regulate the mass transfer model's rate-controlling step mechanism.

The investigation was carried out in a bubble col-umn characterized by an aspect ratio equal to four. The column was made up of plexiglas, equipped with sparger. The top of the column was open to atmo-sphere. The column was also equipped with appropriate rotameters for gas phase flow measurement and control. The liquids used in experiments were: deionised water, glycerin (50 %) and butanol (1.5 %) with atmospheric air representing the gas phase. A high-speed digital video camera was employed for the measuring of bubble rise velocity. The recorded images are also used to obtain an insight into the coalescence/breakage mechanisms occurring during bubble formation at the vicinity of the sparger. Using the appropriate software, rise velocity of the bubbles after their detachment from the triangular and square pitch spargers can be obtained from recorded images for examined liquid and ...

The investigation was carried out in a bubble column characterized by an aspect ratio equal to four. The column was made up of Plexiglas, equipped with sparger and a spherical plate with steel bowl and lid for the second experimentation. The top of the column was open to atmosphere. The liquids used for the experimentation were deionised water, glycerin (50%) and butanol (1.5%). the gas phase was atmospheric air for all the runs. A high speed digital video camera is employed for the measurement of rise velocity of bubbles and light weight particles. The recorded images are also used to obtain an insight into the coalescence/breakage mechanisms occurring during bubble formation at the vicinity of the sparger and accurate rise velocity of light weight particles. The average gas holdup is estimated by the bed expansion. The uncertainty of the measurement is estimated to be less than 10%. Index Terms —B...
