Projects

  • Demulsification of Industrial Light Sweet Crude

    The project involved breaking down of the emulsion which was formed in during the extraction of crude in the Cauvery River basin. The emulsion present in the plant is not efficiently broken to obtain crude oil. To increase the yield of crude oil produced, it is necessary to break the emulsions using suitable demulsifiers. Also, a heater treater is required to administer the demulsifier dosing to the feedstock. Our objective is to study the effect of the demulsifier and the various parameters…

    The project involved breaking down of the emulsion which was formed in during the extraction of crude in the Cauvery River basin. The emulsion present in the plant is not efficiently broken to obtain crude oil. To increase the yield of crude oil produced, it is necessary to break the emulsions using suitable demulsifiers. Also, a heater treater is required to administer the demulsifier dosing to the feedstock. Our objective is to study the effect of the demulsifier and the various parameters affecting it using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and to optimize the considered systems and validate the optimal values. The heater treater should be designed in accord with the requirements of the dosing and the type of demulsifier used.

    This award is bestowed upon the student that best exhibits the guiding principles of leadership, citizenship, and partnership:

    Leadership: Motivating others to take actions that would not otherwise have been taken.
    Leadership is measured by the extent to which an individual or group of individuals can influence and energize the ideas, actions, and capabilities of others toward the betterment of society.
    Citizenship: The ability to apply knowledge and skills towards responsible civic life and action. UC’s emphasis is on public engagement and ethical purpose.
    Partnership: Working collaboratively to address complex issues and problems, both within and beyond the boundaries of UC. A university cannot solve problems by working in isolation. Rather, it must interact with others. By working in partnership, we gain an understanding and appreciation of what can be accomplished as a team that could not have been accomplished alone. We also affirm the importance of diversity, since constructive change often occurs when individuals and groups with different identities and various priorities come together.
