The use of asphalt mixtures containing previously paved asphalt mixture from milled
pavements, so-called reclaimed asphalt pavements or RAP, has been around for more than …

Oil industry suffers from flow assurance problems that occur both in upstream and
downstream operations. One of the common flow assurance issues arises from precipitation …

In the current study, low carbon alcohols (methanol and ethanol) have been blended into
marine heavy fuel oil (HFO) at 10–50 vol% alcohol in the presence of microbial …

The current study proposes heavy fuel oil (HFO)-methanol/ethanol blends as sustainable
way shipowners can limit their emissions to acceptable levels. However, the blends of HFO …

The colloidal instability index (CII) has been widely used for testing the stability of
asphaltenes as a classical method. In this study, five oil samples were tested by the CII …

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network-based
genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) were utilized to predict two crucial output parameters of …

Asphaltenes are natural pour point depressants, and the effect of asphaltene polarity on the
low-temperature rheology of waxy oils has been well studied. In this paper, the influence of …

A detailed investigation into the effect of dissolved amphiphilic compounds of crude oil in
salt water on its surface tension/interfacial tension (ST/IFT) behavior has been conducted in …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition is a serious issue in all facets of petroleum
production and processing. Despite the numerous experimental efforts concerning …

In the last decade, there has been a swift development in several scientific research works in
which the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique has played a critical role in …
