The impact of the Sun on the planet and all life is undeniable, even for our basic survival. If you are interested in raising your consciousness, your relation with the Sun becomes very…
research. However, there are other energies, less known and therefore less used, like biogas. Biogas is a renewable (source of) energy that belongs to the category of biofuels. It typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence…
worldwide recession and then unemployment crisis will occur. The worst thing that would happened is resource war would break out across the world, which means, this could be an origin of another world war. While becoming more fuel efficient and saving gas does help, it only prolongs the inevitable. On the other hand, It’s time for human races to invent and looking for the best alternative source of oil for us to live. With the consideration about pollution and our efficacy to gain it too.…
development in 1972. Ekofisk oil field is an oil field in block 2/4 which located at the Norwegian Continental Shelf of the North Sea (Figure 1.1). The total recoverable reserves of Ekofisk Oil field originally were 3, 324.2 million bbl oil, 156.1 bn ccm gas and 14.5 million tonnes of NGL. As of December 2012, the remaining recoverable reserves are approximately 129 million cubic meters.

review- GASLAND Directed by-JOSH FOX United States of America, the superpower is stated as an example whenever we discuss how governance should play its role in people’s welfare. Gasland is an outcome of the letter Josh Fox received by a natural gas company to drill in his backyard. This documentary can be an eye opener or a setback for all those who think that it’s just the developing nations who sit and play with environment protection acts to make money and prosper its economy. It’s not…
Distillation is the most widely used separation process in the chemical industries. The separation of mixtures by distillation depends on the relative volatilities between the components. The greater the relative volatilities, the easier the separation. DME can be used as an alternative raw material when it is converted to gasoline. The DME is converted to gasoline range hydrocarbons over a zeolite catalyst. In the gasoline production reaction, some reactions cause unwanted components which may…
Chemical Industry is one of the oldest and largest industries in the world, forming the backbone for many other downstream industries. It produces products and materials, 70% of which forms the input for other industries like Agriculture, Automobile, plastic, textiles, petroleum refining, primary metal and chemical industry itself which consumes 26% of its own output. Rest of the production is consumed directly in form of detergent, soap, perfumes and other consumer goods. The global chemical…
technology. Of the two main fossils fuels used, natural gas offers the best economics and efficiencies and is the main pathway used to generate hydrogen nowadays, mainly for the production of ammonia and methanol. The other, being coal, can also be used to produce hydrogen but the initial investment is much greater and the efficiency is lower compared to when natural gas is used. Coal can be economically favourable when compared with natural gas for its lower feedstock cost [$1.26 per GJ LHV…

Carbon dioxide is emitted through many means, both naturally and by different human activities. Plants play a crucial role in limiting the abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In general, photosynthesis can be explained by the following formula: 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP → C6H1206 + 602. Using the carbon dioxide present in their environment, water from their roots, and energy from sunlight, a plant is able to continue to grow and conduct cellular respiration through this process. But how…
