A comparison of two extraction methods for differentiating and characterising various Mycobacterium species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using GC-MS metabolomics
(Academic Journals, 2012)We investigated the capacity of a metabolomics research approach to characterise and differentiate between various infectious Mycobacterium species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and compared two extraction procedures; 1) ... -
The effect of mineral addition on the pyrolysis products derived from typical Highveld coal
(2014)Mineral matter affect various coal properties as well as the yield and composition of products released during thermal processes. This necessitates investigation of the effect of the inherent minerals on the products derived ... -
An improved maintenance management strategy for gas field equipment in Escravos gas–to–liquid plant, Nigeria
(North-West University, 2010)The safety record of most petrochemical industries in the world and Nigeria in particle, has not been able to come down to the maximum allowable range of 0 - 0.1 percent of tolerance on recordable injuries, due to increasing ... -
Local content development in the Nigerian oil and gas industry : why it is not succeeding?
(North-West University, 2008)This research focuses on human capacity development in the Nigerian oil and gas industry. The need for local capacity building in this industry is imperative because oil and gas proceeds are the major source of foreign ... -
Low-smoke fuel production via low temperature pyrolysis of lump coal
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Coal is used on a large scale in the Kwadela Township, Mpumalanga, South Africa with the means to fulfil the basic energy requirements of low-income households. Energy within the coal is utilised via combustion thereof in ... -
Nigeria's gas flaring reduction : economic viability of power generation using flared gas
(North-West University, 2008)Nageria’s oil wealth has been exploited since 1956 when it was first discovered in commercial quantities, with government and the oil companies profiting from the resource. However, gas associate with oil extraction is ... -
Pyrolysis product evaluation and prediction of coals of different rank
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)When coal is heated slowly (<10 °C/min), as in the Lurgi Fixed Bed Dry Bottom (FBDB) gasification process, products formed in the pyrolysis region of the gasifier include gas liquor, condensable tars, oils and non-condensable ... -
Synthesis of a composite inorganic membrane for the separation of nitrogen, tetrafluoromethane and hexafluoropropylene
(ASSAf, 2013)The advanced use of inorganic membranes, such as zeolites, in large-scale industrial processes is hindered by the inability to manufacture continuous and defect-free membranes. We therefore aimed to construct such a ...
