Predictive analytics for crude oil tanker markets
Tanker markets are one of the many markets to experience extreme volatility, historically realizing drastic swings in earnings of up to 260% week over week. This volatility has placed pressure on tanker market participants to forecast future returns, create guidance for their investment decisions, …

Chemistry of alkylaromatics in crude oil upgrading
Due to the rise in demand of crude oil over the long term, technologies to upgrade crude oil need to be developed to ensure maximum use efficiency of future oil sources. In typical carbon rejection processes, coke formation is a common phenomenon that would lead to decreased yield of upgraded oil. …

Hydrothermal liquefaction of wastewater algae mixtures into bio-crude oil
With the goal of incorporating bio-crude oil production and bio-waste treatment, an innovative Environmental-Enhancing Energy (E2-Energy) process was used during which mixed-cultured algal biomass from wastewater treatment system (AW) were converted into bio-crude oils. This study assesses the …
