Utilising Clean Coal Technologies for Meeting Nigeria’s Energy Needs
(Proceedings of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers, 2016)Coal is expected to remain one of the dominant fuels in global electricity power generation as a result of its low cost, high reliability and high availability. In Nigeria, however, coal is yet to make a significant ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Different Environmental Conditions on Pipelines Corrosion Rates
(Society of Petroleum Engineers, 2019-08-03)An estimate of about $18.5 million are expended by industries in Nigeria yearly on corrosion, the oil and gas industry takes more than 65% of this cost due to the peculiar nature of their facilities and operational ... -
Optimization of Wax deposition in a Sub-Cooled pipeline using Response Surface Methodology
(Society of Petroleum Engineers, 2015-08-05)Key factors affecting wax deposition in sub-cooled pipelines (wall (coolant) temperature (A), inlet oil temperature (B), and the percentage of wax inhibitors in the crude (C), and oil flow rate (D)) were experimental ... -
Influence of Long Chain Acrylate Ester Polymer as Wax Inhibitors in Crude Oil Pipelines
(Society of Petroleum Engineers, 2014-08-03)Reliable technical methods for wax build up control in pipelines are critical to the production of crude oil in deep cold water environments. The effectiveness of groups of acrylate ester copolymers of varying alkyl side ... -
Prediction of Volumetric Sand Production and Stability of Well-Bore in a Niger-Delta Formation
(Society of Petroleum Engineers, 2010-08-04)Nigeria's Niger-Delta province has been identified as one petroleum system- The tertiary Niger-Delta (Akata- Agbada) petroleum system. Almost all the petroleum resources currently are produced from the sandstone species ... -
Offshore Topside Rotating Packed Bed as Process Intensified Alternative for Natural Gas Sweetening and Dehydration
(2015)This work is aimed at investigating the benefits of replacing conventional process unit operations with process intensified ones in offshore applications. This ensures that better use is made of raw materials, lower energy ...
