Characterization of asphaltene molecular structures by cracking under hydrogenation conditions and prediction of the viscosity reduction from visbreaking of heavy oils
DownloadSpring 2013
The chemical building blocks that comprise petroleum asphaltenes were determined by cracking samples under conditions that minimized alterations to aromatic and cycloalkyl groups. Hydrogenation conditions that used tetralin as hydrogen-donor solvent, with an iron-based catalyst, allowed...

Agglomerate formation is a common phenomenon that can cause operating problems in the fluid coking reactor. When agglomerates form they provide longer diffusion paths of the reaction products through the liquid layers and liquid bridges within the agglomerate, which leads to higher mass transfer...

In a recent construction project, a platform structure made up of 350W and 300W steel underwent a double dip galvanizing process. Prior to the galvanizing process, the platform was fabricated to completion, which included numerous welds throughout the design. After galvanizing, cracks were found...

Casing pipes used in sour service are prone to two forms of failure: hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the resistance of L80 ERW and Seamless steel pipe, with five different chemical compositions, to both HIC and SSC....

Natural Zeolite Catalysts for the Integrated Cracking, Waterless Extraction and Upgrading of Oilsands Bitumen
DownloadSpring 2012
Canadian oilsands bitumen represents one of the largest petroleum reserves in the world, but extraction of that resource raises significant environmental, operational and quality-related challenges. Current extraction processes are water intensive, generating high volume tailings ponds that are...
