CHEMICAL/PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PROJECT TOPICS

New empirical correlations connecting rock strength and compressibility to accompanying petrographic and petrophysical data have been developed using a database of core-derived mechanical properties measurements. These empirical data are translated into predictive methods for determining mechanical qualities from geophysical wire-line records using automated fitting procedures. 600 triaxial compressive strength experiments of sandstone-to-shale lithotypes, as well … Read more

Drilling fluid must fulfill various functions with a great impact on the drilling performance. Drilling fluid invasion can cause formation damage. Good quality mudcakes can prevent such damage. This research focuses on the lab techniques and performance results of testing innovative water-based drilling fluids containing nanoparticles (NPs) for minimizing formation damage at high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) conditions. … Read more

MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF TRANESTERIFICATION OF WASTE VEGETABLE OIL (FRYING OIL) IN A BATCH REACTOR ABSTRACT In this study a kinetic model was developed to represent the kinetics of transesterificiation of waste vegetable oil (frying oil) in a batch reactor at different isothermal conditions of 313 K, 323 K, 333 K and 338 K. The … Read more

PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL FROM WASTE VEGETABLE OIL USING EGGSHELL BASED CATALYST ABSTRACT The production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil using eggshell based catalyst was studied. Eggshell was investigated to utilize the composition of calcium carbonate as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production. The objective of the experiment is to utilize the calcium carbonate obtained … Read more

TREATMENT OF WATER FROM BORE HOLE USING MORINGA OLEIFERA SEED AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVATED CARBON ABSTRACT The quality and accessibility of drinking water are of paramount importance to human health. Drinking water may contain disease causing agents and toxic chemicals and to control the risks to public health, systematic water quality monitoring and surveillance are required. … Read more
