Present and Future Trend in the Production and Energy Consumption of Desalinated Water in GCC Countries
(2013)Water is one of the pressing global challenges facing humanity. In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, it is considered as the most critical challenges and is expected to grow with time. GCC countries have chosen ... -
Prevention and Containment of Deepwater Oil Well Blowouts
(2014-01-19)Potential deepwater oil blowouts are a challenge and cause disastrous problems if not prevented. The presence of the well head at depths of greater than 1000 feet renders it impossible for human intervention, since the ... -
Printing Human Organs Using Biotechnology
(2015-02-01)3D bio-printing is a relatively new development in the medical field. It is defined as the process of creating and generating functional human organs using 3D printers. -
Priority and Path Diversity Based Video Streaming over Best Effort Networks
(2014-07)Successful delivery of important parts of video sequences is expected to maintain continuous playback at an acceptable video quality. In this thesis, priority and path diversity-based schemes are proposed in order to enhance ... -
Prize-Linked Savings Games: Theory and Experiment
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)We introduce a game in which each player can allocate her endowment in a prize-linked savings (PLS) account, which awards a fixed prize only to a randomly chosen winner. Like Tullock's rent-seeking contest, the probability ... -
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and spectral accelerations for United Arab Emirates
(Springer, 2013-06)In recent years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced an unprecedented growth which is coupled with the increase in seismic activity in the surroundings. Previous studies presents significant variations in their ... -
A Procedural Analysis of kadhalik in Modern Standard Arabic: Demonstrative or Discourse Marker?
(Emerald, 2011)The objective of this chapter is to apply a procedural analysis to the demonstrative form kadhalik in Modern Standard Arabic. It is argued that the form kadhalik can function either as a demonstrative or as a discourse ... -
The Process Approach and UAE High School Students' Attitudes Towards Writing
(2006-08)Many students have negative attitudes towards writing and they feel frustrated because they do not know what to do to improve it. One of the main reasons behind this attitude is the adoption of the product approach that ... -
Process Design and Optimization for Desulfurization of Diesel Using Ionic Liquids
(2021-07)Sulfur dioxide emissions to the atmosphere have been known to cause detrimental health and environmental effects. The currently used hydrodesulfurization (HDS) method employed by refineries has several drawbacks, such as ... -
Process design of waste gas treatment from Emirates Gold Refinery
(2011-06)In this case study, the process modifications and improvement to the existing process at the Emirates Gold refinery (in order to meet the United Arab Emirates (UAE) nitrogen oxides air emission regulations) is presented. ... -
Process simulation and analysis of a five-step copper-chlorine thermochemical water decomposition cycle for sustainable hydrogen production
(2014-01)A process model of a five-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is developed and simulated with the Aspen Plus simulation code. Energy and mass balances, stream flows and properties, heat exchanger duties, and shaft work are ... -
Process simulation and analysis of a five-step copper–chlorine thermochemical water decomposition cycle for sustainable hydrogen production
(Wiley, 2014)A process model of a five-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is developed and simulated with the Aspen Plus simulation code. Energy and mass balances, stream flows and properties, heat exchanger duties, and shaft work are ... -
Produced water treatment using microbial desalination cells
(2018-05)Globally, 250 million barrels of produced water is generated daily for extracting 80 million barrels of oil. Having a highly variable composition and no economic value, produced water presents serious environmental problems. ... -
Produced Water Treatment Using Naturally Abundant Pomegranate Peel
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Pomegranate peel powder (PPP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of crude oil from simulated produced water (SPW). The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, as well as temperature on the efficiency ... -
Produced water treatment using olive leaves
(Desalination Publications, 2017-01)Olive leaves powder (OLP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of hexane extractable crude oil from simulated produced water. The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, salinity as well as temperature ... -
Produced water treatment: Application of Air Gap Membrane Distillation
(2013-01)Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) has been implemented to treat produced water. The permeate fluxes, rejection factor and energy consumption for three different membranes, TF200, TF450 and TF1000, with pore sizes of ... -
Production of Acidic Bio-Char from Food Waste
(2019-12)Bio-char is a carbon-rich solid, produced by pyrolysis of biomass at a high temperature in absence of oxygen. The process also produces a hydrocarbon gas, which upon condensation, produces a liquid fraction and a permanent ... -
