Dehydration using triethylene glycol (TEG) is widely used in natural gas processing to avoid corrosion and plugging of the flow lines. Optimization using Aspen HYSYS simulator and optimizer tool was performed to minimize the processing cost considering different sets of parameters: TEG...

The accurate forecasting of short-term load for urban gas is the premise of gas supply sales, pipe network planning, and energy optimization scheduling. This paper adopts a hybrid model that integrates the fruit fly optimization algorithm (FFOA), simulated annealing algorithm (SA), cross factor...

With the continued downturn in global crude oil prices, the natural gas market shows a rapid growth trend. The coordination of natural gas trade is becoming more and more important, and many organizations have put forward natural gas energy metering the schemes. Nowadays, the energy metering...

Present work is focused on building a TRNSYS simulation model of solar water heating (SWH) system using heat pipe evacuated tubes, hybridized with conventional fuel (i.e., natural gas) backup to provide uninterrupted thermal energy supply. An experimental facility was developed to validate the...

The growing impacts of climate change mainly due to the increasing emissions of GHG, especially carbon dioxide, has led to the development and implementation of specific strategies and policies to reduce them. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is currently seen as a good option, as it...

This work presents the synthesis gas production from gasification of plastic waste, i.e. polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). The steam gasification is modeled by using AspenPlusTM simulation software. The effects of gasifier temperature and steam to feed (S/F) mass ratio were examined to...

The availability of natural gas in Lima - Peru, from Camisea, in several urban areas of Lima, for technical reasons there are no natural gas facilities especially in peripheral urban areas in the highlands or hills. This is compensated by FISE government social programs providing subsidized...

A novel method for estimating the rotor blade life cycle of an industrial gas turbine (GT) by the use of artificial Neural Network is proposed in this paper At the first step the blade life cycle is obtained by the use of Larson-Miller method which uses output results of GT performance modeling...

As the cleanest fossil fuel in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, natural gas demand is expected to increase rapidly in future due to its important role in the transition of the world energy system. In this case, understanding potential limits to future production of the world's natural...

Underground gas storage (henceforth; UGS) is considered as a common method which resolves the seasonality problem of transportation and distribution of gas phase in the oil and gas industries. The main objective of this study is to simulate one of Iranian's depleted gas condensate reservoir and...
