Strategies to control sediment and coke in a hydrocracker
To do so would simply result in lost conversion without a corresponding value improvement in terms of sediment deposition control and run lengths This relationship brings about the concept of optimising conversion as a function of the rate of fouling and fuel oil sediment formation...
Microbiological processes in banded iron formation deposition
Banded iron formations have been studied for decades, particularly regarding their potential as archives of the Precambrian environment In spite of this effort, the mechanism of their deposition and, specifically, the role that microbes played in the precipitation of banded iron formation minerals, remains unresolved...
