Enhancing the efficiency of crude oil transportation pipeline: a novel approach
In this paper, exergy and economic analyses are carried out on a 30″ crude oil transportation pipeline and related pump stations. The exergy destructions and losses of the components and the entire system were determined in the operation, resulting in the identification of the gas turbines stacks as the major elements of exergy losses. A proposal has been made for improving the energy and exergy ...

Peak oil and energy security: can alternative fuels and vehicles save us?
Peak oil can be defined as the point in time when global oil production reaches its maximum annual rate, after which the annual production rate generally declines. Against an expected profile of growing demand for oil-based transport fuels, when peak oil occurs, it could create a growing transport fuel supply gap which, if not filled, would be expected to lead to very high prices for petroleum ...

What Is Carbon Steel Pipe Used For
Carbon steel has unbelievable strength, so carbon steel tubes can be made very thin. This means that carbon steel pipes can be manufactured with less material and still be able to transport large volumes. This shows that carbon steel is very cost-effective. In addition, carbon steel can be recycled, which meets the requirements of developing energy-efficient buildings and a sustainable and ...

Toasting Pop-Tarts cheap: How electricity may solve our energy woes
We tend to talk about electricity in terms of its problems — it degrades the environment, costs too much and messes up scenic views. But the Manhattan Institute’s Peter Huber takes a different stand in his new report “The Million-Volt Answer to Oil.”Huber says electric power may be the cheap, efficient resource we seek to give America energy independence. He divides energy into two camps: ...

New Study: Biofuel Use Saved 589.3 Million Tons of Carbon Emissions Over the Past Decade
Over its 10-year lifespan, the Renewable Fuel Standard’s (RFS) requirement to substitute biofuels for fossil fuels has displaced nearly 1.9 billion barrels of foreign oil and reduced U.S. transportation-related carbon emissions by 589.33 million metric tons, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) finds in an analysis released today. Brent Erickson, executive vice president of ...

Evaluating the Economic Viability and Cost-Effectiveness of Pyrolysis Oil
In the quest for sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources, pyrolysis oil has emerged as a compelling candidate. However, the economic viability and cost-effectiveness of this renewable fuel are critical factors that demand scrutiny. The Genesis of Pyrolysis Oil Pyrolysis oil, also known as bio-oil or biocrude, is a product of the pyrolysis process. This thermal decomposition method ...

Making the right pump purchase decision for lube oil manufacturers
Lube oil manufacturing plants are being built or expanded around the world to cope with increasing demand – most of which originates in Asia. Perhaps not surprisingly, China is projected to win the top spot from the USA in lubricant consumption within 6-7 years. And in India, the third-largest market in the world, annual demand has recently topped 2 billion liters. In both countries, demand ...

Why many experts missed this: Cheap oil can hurt US economy
WASHINGTON (AP) - If there was one thing most economists agreed on at the start of the year, it was this: Plunging oil prices would boost the U.S. economy. It hasn't worked out that way. The economy is thought to have shrunk in the January-March quarter and may barely grow for the first half of 2015 - thanks in part to sharp cuts in energy drilling. And despite their savings at the gas pump, ...

Climate change and the US energy sector
As President Obama emphasized in his speech at Georgetown University in June 2013, climate change is happening. It is here, it is now, and as Obama warned, “Our planet is changing in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind.” But what are these effects? The President reels off examples: sea levels in New York harbour increasing by a foot in depth over the past century, ...

Diesel economy is the benefit for the future
Diesel fuel is a liquid product which is used as fuel in the diesel engine. It is received by oil distillation from kerosene and gas-oil fractions. It represents quite viscous and difficult evaporated combustible liquid. Generally it consists of carbons, some percentage of hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen. Such type of fuels is intended for high-speed diesel and gas-turbine engines of land ...

Renewable Energy is Vital for National Security and Financial Stability
A Tipping Point, Part 2 “Follow the money,” Deep Throat tells Bob Woodward in All The President’s Men. That approach often works for investigators – and for investors. But sometimes it can backfire dramatically, as when all Wall Street flocked to overpriced derivatives that collapsed in 2008. Now, some leading central bankers, regulators and investors ...

EPA issues draft GHG analysis for cottonseed oil feedstock in biofuels
EPA is inviting public comment on its analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the production and transport of cottonseed oil feedstock used in the production of biofuels. The Federal Register notice also provides an overview as to how EPA may apply its analysis in future determinations, as to whether biofuels from cottonseed oil will meet the criteria for renewable fuel under the ...

Hydrogen production technology for powering civil and industrial systems: a review
Partial use of alternative energy exemplified by hydrogen energy is expected to reduce negative impacts associated with the current dependence on fossil energy and bring net gain to regional and national economies. Hydrogen has emission levels that are far below the existing and possibly, future standards. Hydrogen energy may enhance energy security and perhaps allay concerns some concerns about ...

Assessing the performance of interdependent infrastructures and optimising investments
Our nation's security as well as the quality of life of its citizenry depends on the continuous reliable operation of a collection of complicated interdependent infrastructures including transportation, electric power, oil, gas, telecommunications and emergency services. A disruption in one infrastructure can quickly and significantly impact another, causing ripples across the nation. Our ...

Hydrogen storage systems for automotive applications: project StorHy
Around two thirds of world's oil usage is associated with transportation with road vehicles consuming around 40%. Also, transportation accounts for around 25% of greenhouse emissions worldwide, with around 90% coming from road vehicles. This situation is further complicated by the fact that oil reserves are running out. For this reason, the automotive industry supported by relevant governing ...

Buying Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Equipment
For several decades, every one of the world's rubbish continues to be shipped to landfills, sea fills and incineration facilities causing untold damage to the natural environment. Think contaminated water sources, toxic agricultural land, clogged valleys, and loads of air pollution. The worse part is that the majority of things people dispose of contain valuable resources, like glass, metals, ...

Fuel upgrading improves cars operation
Gasoline is the mix of easily boiling liquid various hydrocarbons received at distillation of oil, natural gas reclamation, processing of fuel firm types and at secondary processing of products of oil distillation. The most important for gasoline are detonation requirements and fractional structure on which their properties depend. Operation without detonation of the engine is reached by gasoline ...
