During production of conventional as well as heavy oils, emulsions occur at well bore, in
pipelines, and at surface facilities. As the production time of the oil wells increases, there will …

The current and prospective worldwide energy demands have led either to start exploiting
the more difficult and costly unconventional oil reserves, or to maximize the exploitation of …

The key mechanisms in enhancing crude oil recovery include the reduction of interfacial
tension (IFT) between the trapped crude oil and the injected flooding solution, the wettability …

High-sediment water in drip irrigation (HSWDI) technology offers the opportunity to alleviate
water shortages in agricultural irrigation. Emitter clogging, caused by active suspended …

Emitter clogging is a major challenge for phosphorus drip irrigation systems (PDIS). Calcium
ions (Ca 2+) play an important role in PDIS clogging. However, the effects of Ca 2+ and …

This study investigated the effectiveness and mechanisms of electromagnetic field (EMF) on
reverse osmosis (RO) membrane scaling control during brackish groundwater desalination …

Reusing biogas slurry (BS) in agricultural drip irrigation systems may provide a solution to
deal with the adverse environmental impacts of applying BS. Biofouling and scaling are two …

The formulation and mechanism of a hybrid ultralow interfacial tension spontaneous
emulsification (SE) system consisting of alkyl polyglucoside surfactant and low …

Phosphorus fertigation by drip irrigation (PFDI) system may offer an effective way to alleviate
the soil and water pollution caused by the excessive input of phosphorus fertilizer, and also …

Biofouling poses considerable technical challenges to agricultural irrigation systems.
Controlling biofouling with strong chemical biocides is not only expensive and sometimes …
