Assessment of Cement Kiln Dust Utilization In Soil Amendment and Adsorption Process

Abstract Cement kiln dust is a major by product in cement manufacture. Methods of disposal, handling, treatment and reuses are a major factors in optimization of a certain cement plant. This thesis concentrates on the uses of cement kiln dust of souk Al Kamees cement plant as Soil amendment and as an adsorpent of Fe, Zn and lead results from sand. The major objectives of these treatments are environmental rather than economical to reduce the landfill disposal of CKD which is major problem in cement industry. CKD is used in agricultural soil amendment.CKD in Souk Alkamees consists primarily of calcium carbonate and silence dioxide, the alkaline by pass process contains highest amount of calcium oxide and lowest loss on ignation [LOI] which become a beneficial for CKD use as a soil amendment to the sand for many especial agricultural products such as potatoes, …etc. This thesis concentrates on the uses of CKD as an adsorbent to remove heavy metals such as Fe, Zn, and Pb from soil. Adsorption column is used to perform the work. Experimental setup discussed in the thesis is used using cement kiln dust as an adsorbent for removal of heavy metals from soil. The major result is to simulate the physical behavior of the process using conventional isotherms available in literature, Langmuir, Freandlish and Drachsal isotherm models have been found to simulate the data with good agreement with experimental work. Characterization of the CKD is made after dehydration process at 150C for 24 hrs. X ray fluorescent equipment is used and the results are reported in the thesis.

Assessment Study of Energy Consumption in Ras Lanuf Refinery by pinch Analysis

Abstract Here asphaltene precipitation in petroleum reservoirs during natural depletion and miscible gas injection is modeled for two distinct and new methods (polymer solution and Scott-Magat theory). The first model is based on the polymer solution theory, which is a combination of Miller's combinatorial term with a modified residual term of the original Flory-Huggins theory. The second one is based on the Scott Magat theory to represent solid-liquid equilibria. The models has also been coupled with Peng Robinson equation of state (PR EOS) to describe the phase behavior of asphaltene compounds in crude oil and predict the amount of asphaltene precipitation during injection of carbon dioxide for the miscible displacement of asphaltic crudes. The model treats asphaltene within crude oil as a single pseudocomponent represented by an average molecular weight and molar volume and solubility parameter . The results of both models show an acceptable and good agreement between the real data (field and experimental) and those of the models. As it can be seen from the obtained results of those of the two models, it seems that application of the lattice or polymer solution theories (based on The Miller's combinatorial term) could give better results that are more close to real data.

Flow assurance

دراسة ضمان التدفق هو احدي أهم العمليات التحليلية لمرور الزيت والغاز خلال الأنابيب والمعدات البتروكيميائية. هذه الدراسة تساعدنا فى تصميم وتشغيل وصيانة خطوط الزيت و الغازوخاصة الخطوط الموجودة في أعماق البحار. يعتبر الشمع والهيدريت من أهم المشاكل التى تواجه نقل الزيت والغاز عبر الأنابيب هذه المشاكل تكلف خسائر مالية كبيرة عن طريق اغلاق جزء من انابيب نقل الزيت والغاز. ولتجنب الوقوع فى خطر الهيدريت والشمع يجب ان تكون كل من درجة الحرارة والضغط بعيدة عن تكون الشمع والهيدريت. تضمنت هذه الدراسة تضمنت فحص تأتير كل من اللزوجة, متوسط الوزن الجزئ, نسبة الشمع, سمك العازل, الزمن ودرجة الحرارة الخارجية على ترسب الشمع على جدار أنابيب النقل. وكذلك قمنا بدراسة متى وأين يتكون الهيدريت باختيار زيوت وغازات مختلفة. من أهم النتائج التى تحصلنا عليها من خلال دراسة ترسب الشمع على الأنابيب وتكون الهيدريت كالأتي :أقل لزوجة في الزيوت الشمعية كانت عنده أعلى قيمة ترسب الشمغ علي الأنبوب .زيادة سمك العازل ودرجة الحرارة المحيطة تقلل ترسب الشمع على الأنابيب .زيادة زمن التشغيل تزيد من ترسب الشمع علي الأنابيب .دراسة تكون الهيدريت باستخدام برنامج كمبيوتر (HYSYS وPVTSIM) كانت النتائج المعملية قريبة من النتائج المعملية عند درجة حرارة وضغط منخفض. اضافة مواد كيميائية احدى الطرق التى تبعدنا عن خطر تكون الهيدريت. Abstract Flow assurance is the analysis of thermal, hydraulic and production chemistry issues during the flow of fluids through pipelines and process equipments in the oil and gas industry. These issues arise during the design, operation and maintenance of Gas/oil supply systems, which are often in deep water or challenging environments. Flow assurance studies are usually carried out at design and production stages to insure oil and gas flow in pipe lines and process equipment without any problems. Wax and hydrates are problems associated while gas and oil are transported. Wax deposition is a serious field problem encountered during crude oil production that causes plugging of pipe line, well tubing and process equipment. Wax crystals lead to oil high viscosity and decreased pumping capacity. Gas hydrates are a well-known problem in the oil and gas industry and cost millions of dollars in production and transmission pipelines. To prevent this problem, it is important to predict the temperature and pressure under which gas hydrates will form. This work aims to investigate the major flow assurance aspect (wax deposition and hydrates formation) in flow lines. This may include; Effect of oil viscosity, oil wax percent, average moleculer weight of oil, ambient temperature, insulation thickness and time duration on wax deposition rate in pipelines. In addition concerning hydrates, the main important issue is when and where hydrates will form in flow lines and gas pipelines. five different oils and different gases from literature where selected and utilized as working examples.The important results of wax deposition and hydrate formation are as the following: The lowest viscosity of five crude oils give us the maximum total volume deposition.Increasing of insulation thickness and ambient temperature causes decreasing wax layer deposition.Increasing of time duration causes increasing of wax layer thickness. Hydrate formation by using HYSYS and PVTSIM at law temperature and law pressure is closed to the hydrate formation by experimentally. Adding chemicals (inhibitors) saved the gas through a pipeline from the risk of hydrate formation. The obtained results show that wax deposition and hydrates formation can be predicted with good accuracy with computer soft ware.
