Providing a comprehensive approach to oil well blowout risk assessment.

Drilling is one of the most dangerous activities in the oil and gas process industries. Therefore, a holistic approach was presented to prevent and control risks and reduce the uncertainty of blowouts, kick scenarios, and control layers based on the Fuzzy Bayesian Network (FBN). Four independent protection layers (IPLs) were used to evaluate the blowout outcome, and the failure probabilities of IPL1 and IPL2 were calculated with Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).

Removal of ethyl benzene vapor pollutant from the air using TiO nanoparticles immobilized on the ZSM-5 zeolite under UVradiation in lab scale.

Ethyl benzene is a volatile organic compound that is used in the many industries, including Oil and Gas, Oil colored and Insecticides. Due to the toxic effects of this chemical substance control and elimination of this vapor is necessary. Photo catalytic degradation is a possible method to remove organic compounds from air.
