This study analyses the fuel-mix and energy utilization patterns in Port Harcourt Refining Company from 2000 to 2011. The average fuel mix over the study period is 43% refinery fuel gas, 0% liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), 44% low pour fuel oil (LPFO), 8% Coke, and 5% automotive gas oil (AGO). The present ratio of high-carbon fuel consumption to low-...

... the main fuel utilized in process units fired heaters is largely the refinery fuel gas. This is because the refinery fuel gas consumed is directly proportional to the capacity utilization, which is a function of crude oil quantity processed (Fig. 1B). On average, throughout the 12-year period under consideration ( Fig. 2A), the most consumed fuel is fuel oil (44%), closely followed by refinery fuel gas (43%). Although liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has not been used at all, the least utilized fuel has been AGO (5%). An 8% coke utilization suggests that the FCC unit where the fuel is usually combusted has not been in operation for some years. This can be ...

... 2008, Brazilian refineries (Fig. 2B) consumed coke: 31%, natural gas: 15%, refinery fuel gas: 36%, and high pour fuel oil: 18%. This means that, aside from coke, high-carbon fuels were only 18% while low-carbon fuels were 51%. Besides, the FCC unit has been quite operational, with 31% petroleum coke consumed. In 2008, US refineries consumed 30% natural gas, 49% refinery ...

Besides, the FCC unit has been quite operational, with 31% petroleum coke consumed. In 2008, US refineries consumed 30% natural gas, 49% refinery gas, and 21% coke (Fig. 2C). This implies, 79% low-carbon fuel consumption and no high-carbon fuel consumption aside from that of petroleum ...

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is the most successful and widely used alternative fuel for vehicles in the market today. Petrol fuelled vehicles are fitted with natural gas vehicle (NGV) conversion kit to enable bi-fuel operation between CNG and petrol. This experimental approach is focused on the fuel consumption, exhaust emission and fuel cost betw...

Natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas are the most important alternative fuels for gasoline in spark ignition
engines, for many reasons, such as large world reserve of these gasses, high heating value, high octane number, low emissions emitted from burning them in engines, and their small prices compared with gasoline. The practical study conduct...
Gasoline engines have proven their utility in light, medium and heavy duty vehicles. Concern about long term availability of petroleum and the environment norms by the increased vehicular emission have mandated the search for safe fuel. CNG is an environmentally clean alternative to the existing spark ignition engines with the advantages of minimum...

... Fuels are vital for transportation [1], and jet fuel is a major resource for the aviation fuel industry, accounting for about 40% of the total operational cost of some airline which makes it a major business cost component. According to the study by [2], jet fuel is one of the major factors that affects flight safety [3,4]; with the quality of jet fuel being the major issue. ...
Factors such as aircraft design, air traffic control, aviation fuel quality, management policies, etc. are associated with flight safety. Diverse methodologies and systems have been developed for managing these intricate factors. Much focus over time has been on the aircraft itself; the design, pre-flight checks and operational procedures. This study is focused on highlighting how the combination of Safety Management Systems (SMS) and Quality Management Systems (QMS) are deployed in the jet fuel value chain for ensuring the safety of personnel, the integrity of the work process and facility and ultimately the supply of quality and dry on-spec Jet A-1 fuel for into-plane or fuelling operations. For the integrated safety and quality management system (ISQMS) to be effective, all stakeholders must play active roles and show utmost commitment to the ISQMS vision and goals. The management of the fuelling company sets the ISQMS pace and drives the process. The ISQMS incorporates all aspect of the business operations and offers both direct and indirect benefits to the business.
... By decorating Si nanowire electrodes or CdS nanopowder surfaces with MoS 2 , catalysts able to operate hydrogen photogeneration efficiently as Pt nanoparticles have been obtained [146,147] . Therefore, MoS 2 have opened a path for using this co-catalyst as a valid substitute for expensive noble metal H 2 catalysts, and research efforts of exploring MoS 2 -composites for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water (and also for CO 2 reduction), in combination with CdS, CdSe, graphene, carbon nitride, TiO 2 , and other semiconductors, have been recently reported [148,149] . ...
The paper shortly reviews the basic direct approaches applied in searching for viable solutions to solar fuel production. These are generally distinguished in molecular and semiconductor (non-molecular) systems, however, hybrid strategies, proposed recently, have also been included. The most promising efforts are considered, highlighting key aspects and emerging critical issues. Special attention is paid to aspects such as electrode architecture, device design, and main differences in the scientific vision and challenges to directly produce solar fuels. This overview could be useful to orientate the readers in the wide panorama of research activities concerning water splitting, natural and artificial photosynthesis, and solar fuel production through the identification of common aspects, specialties and potentialities of the many initiatives and approaches that are developing worldwide in this field with the final aim to meet world energy demand.
