Item Biodiesel Production Using Calcined Eggshells Loaded on Barium Oxide as a Catalyst(جامعة سبها, 2024) محمد أحمد محمدItem “studying the effect of plasticizer type on the physical and structure properties of corn starch biopolymer ”(جامعة سبها, 2024) البشير محمد البشيرItem Modifying the filtration properties of water-based Drilling fluids using extracted virgin olive cellule(جامعة سبها, 2024) محمد مختار يوسف; علي عبدالرحمن محمد; مفتاح عمر مفتاحThis study explores the potential of cellulose extracted from olive kernels (OKC) and olive pomace (OPC) as a modifier for drilling fluid properties. The cellulose, when integrated into real drilling fluid, exhibited minimal impact on pH levels and density across various concentrations. Plastic viscosity peaked at 0.1% and 0.25%, indicating potential overload points. Yield strength fluctuations correlated with changes in viscosity, impacting system performance. Increasing cellulose concentration in bentonite resulted in elevated salinity level , thus the optimal filtration efficiency was achieved at 0.025% cellulose concentration from Olive kernels Overall, cellulose from olive in both samples ( kernels & pomace ) showcased promising potential in enhancing drilling fluid performance, controlling circulation loss, and modifying the mud filtration cake, thus serving as a viable alternative to CMC.Item Enhancing Oil Recovery in Sandstone Core Samples Using Zeolite, Sodium & Potassium Hydroxide, Slica, AL, Addition to Formation Water(جامعة سبها, 2023) حمد أبوبكر محمد; طاهر محمد إبراهيمThis research project explores the effectiveness of adding zeolites to formation water for enhancing oil recovery. The demand for fossil fuels, particularly oil, remains significant for meeting global energy needs. However, primary oil production methods fall short in extracting most of the original oil-in-place (OOIP). Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are employed to address this challenge. Among these methods, water flooding plays a vital role in increasing oil production by maintaining reservoir pressure and displacing oil from pore spaces, leading to improved ultimate oil recovery. To enhance the efficiency of water flooding, various chemicals have been tested and proven effective when added to the injected water. These include smart water injection, carbonated water injection, surfactant solutions, polymers, alkalis, mutual solvents, and foam injection. Zeolites, known for their porous structure and ion-exchange properties, have gained prominence in numerous industrial applications, including EOR. This research investigates the impact of adding zeolites to formation water on oil recovery. The research issue arises from the recognition that formation water alone may not efficiently recover oil due to oil properties and rock characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine whether the inclusion of zeolites in formation water can enhance oil recovery. Experiments are conducted on sandstone core samples obtained from a Libyan field in the Murzuq basin, using oil with a density of g/cc. The findings of this research hold significance for fields subjected to water injection in Libya, as successful implementation of zeolites could substantially increase the country's daily oil production rate. The experimental results demonstrate that the addition of zeolite, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, silica, and aluminum significantly improves oil recovery at higher temperatures for sandstone core samples. Furthermore, the inclusion of sodium hydroxide yields superior oil recovery compared to potassium hydroxide. Using 15% of sodium and potassium hydroxides yields better results than other percentages, although the underlying cause is not explored in this study. Additionally, the combination of zeolite, sodium and potassium hydroxides, silica, and aluminum enhances oil recovery, warranting further investigation into the underlying mechanismsItem Phase behaviours study using different types of surfactant(جامعة سبها, 2024) بوزيد يوسف إبراهيم; علي فرج عبداللهIn this research, three types of surfactants were used: the first type is Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate SDS, the second type is commercial soap, and the third type is laboratory-prepared soap. Three soaps with different proportions were placed in a test tube containing an equal proportion of oil and water The samples were divided into two phases, one containing the original water salinity and the other containing the water salinity diluted to half. By exposing the samples to a different temperature, a layer of microemulsion was formed in both the soap that was prepared in the laboratory and the commercial soap. It was found that the first type of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate SDS sulfactan mixed oil with water, and the microemulsion layer did not form.Item Experimental study of a solar water heater for effect of solar radiation and mass Flow Rates(جامعة سبها, 2024) علي عبدالسلام الزين; انشراح أحمد بشيرItem Preparation of activated carbon from phragmites australis for water purification(جامعة سبها, 2024) علي عمرأحمد; أحمد الهادي; تهاني محمد صالحActivated carbon is not a product of the times, but it's great importance to humans and the environment, it has been known for thousands of years, and due to its great ability to capture toxins and harmful gases, because its phenomenon adsorption ability, the uses of activated carbon are very wide and it's included in many industries such as water purification, minerals extraction, and in medicines industries and many more. Our research includes the preparing of activated carbon by using Phragmites Australia which was calcinated under a specific temperature for 2hr, and it was activated successfully by hydroxide sodium and it was used to remove the Methylene blue dye from water successfully, the results showed that, the absorption bands at 3317 and 3439 cm-1 cans be related to the O-H group which is assigned for stretching vibration mode of hydroxyl functional groups. The band at 1601.56 cm-1 shows the formation of carbonyl-containing groups. The weak bands at 1466.99 cm to 1000 cm-1 are related to the C-H group present in alkali groups. The bands from 700 to 400 cm-1 are corresponded to the out-of-plane bending vibrations of C-H group in the aromatic rings. However, weak peak appeared slightly above 3000 cm-1 in activated carbon demonstrates unsaturation indicating alkenyl C= C stretch.Item Performance study of a Multi-Effect Desalination plant combined with a Parabolic Trough Collector, operating under the climatic conditions of the Sebha region(جامعة سبها, 2023) Ghazala Ali Al SadiqWater scarcity is a problem in a number of countries, especially in semiarid regions. One of the most promising applications of solar energy is water desalination, especially in regions where fresh water is scarce and solar radiation is abundant. Desalination is an increasing and necessary source of fresh water, but it is energy intensive.

This software is applies material balance equation and other reservoir properties in the order to achieve the accurate OOIP based on the old OOIP and correct the data to estimate future performance of reservoir. In this study, different scenarios have been handled to match the old data that collected from the field. The best model can fit with data was (Schilthuis Steady State Model) water influx and correct the diffusivity depending on reservoir pressure, the old OOIP was 814 MMSTB and the corrected value of OOIP is 830 MMSTB. So, the results were close to the productivity that inputted in the production history and doesn’t reached bubble point pressure which was 1900 psia and the reservoir pressure has been maintained to keep above the bubble point pressure. Thus, long shut in period in simulated data let the pressure to increase around 150 Psia from the original value. Two scenarios has been conducted to predict the future performance in this field, first scenario is if the reservoir started producing 500 bbl/day of oil and 221 Mscf/stb of gas for each well without any injection, and the second scenario under the injection effect with injection rate 3000 bbl/day with 200000 ppm salinity and the productivity is 6000bbl/day for oil and 2652 Mscf/stb, both scenarios showed great results and didn’t reached bubble point pressure until 2040, the pressure was 2106 Psia for first scenario and 2073 Psia for second scenario, the two scenarios could be recommended to the Al-ghani-field in the order to Improve the productivity.Item The inhabitation performance of tamarix material upon mild steel substrate in acid medium(جامعة سبها, 2022) شها, وردهUnder the aggressive environment the metallic materials can be depredated as a corrosion process. One way to protect the metal surface against corrosion is applied the organic inhibitor material. The inhibitor is chemically adsorbed the surface of the metal forming a protective thin film. The current work is investigated the influences of tarmarix plant as an organic material source for inhibiting carbon steel in corrosion media. The obtained results show that the changes in weight loss in samples immersed in corrosion media contain 10% and 20% of Tarmaix material were less that without the inhibitor material. This may attributed to the Tarmaix material play a role in reducing the attaché of chlorine ions onto the substrate surface. Also, corrosion rate decreased with exposure time for all inhabitation specimens. One reason for this phenomenon may be attributed to the slower corrosion reactions emanating from test environment due to contamination by the corroding test metal in solution. In addition, the results revealed that after 5 hrs and 50 %, the inhibitor material showed a higher inhibition efficiency which was slightly above 90%. And, the plots of C\ɵ versus C gives straight lines with the linear correlation coefficient ( R2 ) values close to unity, which follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The slope ranges of these line are 1.391- 1.623 within the used immersion times. Therefore, it can be suggested that the absorbed molecules form monolayer on mild steel surface. The strong appearing of functional groups such as C-OH (figure 4.6 b) inside the structure of polyphenolics in the plant leaf extract of tarmaix could be probably responsible for the reduction of metal ions and formation a protective layer improved the corrosion process within the inhabitation samples.Item Treatment Produced Water Using Microalgae(جامعة سبها, 2023) محمد, هشامproduced water is consider as one of the main attraction topics in the oil fields, which the formation water comes to the surface with the crude oil and it is separated to avoid many problems that may occur during the transportations. However, the produced water sometimes inject it into artificial lake inside the fields. the water of those lake is caused a pollution for the sands, animals, plants and formation water as well. Therefore, the proper treatment of produced water is very important because it contains minerals and inorganic salts. This study focused on the treatment of produced water using organic materials, which are freshwater algae, and its effects on reducing the salts present in the formation water. In this study, three types of freshwater algae have been used, namely: Oedogonium alga Zygnema alga dead algae The effect of each Ph, Electrical Conductivity (E.C), total dissolved solids TDS, and salinity performed before and after the treating at different times; the first day, the fourth day, and the seventh day.

Cement mortar is a macro-material strongly influenced by addition other materials such as iron oxide. One of the most important properties of hardened cement mortar is its compressive strength, which can be quantitatively measured. In the present research the effect of iron oxide particle size on the compressive strength of cement mortar was studied. The particle size of iron oxide considered as (0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, 1.00 mm, 1.50 mm, and 4.00 mm). The compressive strength of hardened cement mortar samples were tested after 28 days of completion of curing. Results showed that the compressive strength of the cement mortar using a various iron oxide particle size increased with decreasing the particle size. Maximum increasing in compressive strength was about 20%, the addition of iron oxide to concrete with suitable fine iron oxide particle size will enhance the compressive strength of cement mortar due to the less formation of porosityItem Investigation on The Effect of Zizyphus Spina-Christi on the corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid Solution(جامعة سبها, 2022) أحمد, عبدالمجيدThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of an inhibitor, ziziphus spina-christi on the corrosion of low steel (mild steels) in 0.5 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) acid solution by weight loss measurements and at the temperatures range 30 and 60 °C. The effect of hydrochloric acid addition on the corrosion and corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 30, 60°C in the absence and presence of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of zizyphus spina-christi (ZSC) plant have been investigated using chemical . The corrosion inhibition efficiency was determined using weight loss measurement method. The method of determining the weight loss of metal cylinders exposed to the corrosive environment using laboratory immersion corrosion testing method is the traditional and most widely used method for corrosion monitoring. The effects of inhibitor concentration on the corrosion rate of low steel have been found to increase with inhibitor concentration at both temperature 30 °C and 60 °C. The experimental data was used to determine the best models of isothermal equilibrium data sets for the used inhibitor. The results were fit to all used adsorption isotherms including; Langmuir isotherm and Temkin isotherm, while a slight improvements were observed when using an alcoholic extract inhibitor at temperature of 60 °C.Item Simulation of a gas line to predict the formation of gas hydrates, using a Hysys software(جامعة سبها, 2021) حسن, خميس; عبدالحفيظ, عبدالصادقThe formation of hydrates in production, processing facilities and pipelines has been a problem to the natural gas industry, that cost several millions of dollars..
