Glycerol Management: Challenges and Opportunities for Biodiesel Producers and Refiners
Abstract: During the last few years, concerns with availability and cost of conventional liquid fuels increased considerably. Considering the present scenario, bio-components are playing an important role in transportation fuels. One such bio-based fuel that is being widely commercialized is biodiesel. With the commercial production of biodiesel a glut of glycerol is going to be created as a byproduct; it will cause market prices to plummet which imbalance the economic viability …

A Review Paper on the Working of Petroleum Refineries
Abstract: ABSTRACT- What’s happen in petroleum refinery, why we have a tendency to install refineries and the way crude is refined, we will understand in simple means by this article. Crude can't be use directly, produce plenty of pollution and too much expensive also, therefore we'd like refined crude and establish several rock oil products like (kerosene/LPG/petrol/jet fuel/gas /naphtha etc.) for our desires for energy, heat and plenty of other’s needs. …

Applications of Sesame Residues as Sorbents for Oil Removal from Produced Water
Abstract: Large amounts of produced water are produced in tandem with the production of crude oil. Both dissolved and dispersed oil are present in produced water, which can contaminate the environment and pose health risks to people. In this study, the oil component, cadmium, and lead ions were extracted from the generated water using sesame residues and agricultural wastes. The sesame residues were dried, size-reduced, and ground. Standard techniques were used …
