Bio-oil produced by biomass pyrolysis contains high oxygenates, namely, carboxylic acids, alcohols, and ketones resulting in low calorific fuel, and therefore bio-oil requires upgrading to sequester these oxygenates. By conducting the co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic feed blend, the donation of hydrogen by plastic free radicals to the oxygen of biomass free radicals may sufficiently reduce oxygenate compounds in the bio-oil and increase its yield. Therefore, the synergetic effects are functional. Currently, co-pyrolysis reactors have high aspect ratios (ratio of height to diameter) of 4 or more and small diameters (maximum 40 mm), in which the heat transfer from the furnace to the feed blend is immaterial even though the plastic material has low thermal conductivity. However, in large-scale reactors, such a design restricts the bio-oil's capacity due to the heat transfer constraint. To resolve the latter and to improve bio-oil quality, in the present work, the co-pyrolysis of corn cobs and polypropylene (PP) is conducted in a stirred-tank reactor with a low aspect ratio (2). PP composition in the feed blend was varied from 0100% weight with a 12.5% weight interval, heating rate of 5 o C/min, and final temperature of 500 o C. The results show that by increasing the PP composition in the feed blend from 37.5% to 87.5%, the bio-oil yield increased from 25.8% to 67.2% feed weight. An analysis of bio-oil quality shows that there was a favorably abrupt increase of non-oxygenate composition in the bio-oil from less than 5% to more than 70% as the PP composition in the feed blend was increased from 37.5% to 50% and more.
<em>In the world of oil is very common in the production system. This production system produces oil from wells after drilling and well compressions. Over time, the production of a well may decrease due to several parameters of pressure drop and the presence of clay which makes the pipe diameter narrower. There are several methods used to increase the decrease in production including adding artificial lifts such as sucker rod pump, electric submersible pump and gas lift, reservoir stimulation and pipe cleaning if the pipe diameter is reduced due to clay. The well has been installed an artificial lift is a gas lift and this well need an optimization to increase its production. The EC-6 well optimization is planned by comparing the lift-up scenario of the gas lift by adjusting the rate of gas injection and deepening the orifice injection and also an installation of electrical submersible pump. Best percentage of optimization production from EC-6 Well, last scenario is chosen which is new installation artificial lift ESP from gas lift (existing) and gaining 18.52% form existing production</em>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
