Las tecnicas fueron estudiadas experimentalmente usando soluciones etanol:agua preparadas y caldos de fermentacion, ajustando la concentracion de etanol al 10% p/p. Bajo estas condiciones de operacion y utilizando soluciones etanol:agua preparadas, se obtuvieron flux totales promedio de 22.61 y 1.6 kg·m-2·h-1, y factores de concentracion de 2.3 y 1.7 para VMD y SGMD, respectivamente.

El impacto del ensuciamiento tambien fue estudiado, encontrando un efecto significativo de la presion (de vacio) para la tecnica VMD; principalmente debida a la presencia de biomasa en la solucion. Pruebas experimentales muestran que aplicando ciclos de presurizacion/despresurizacion se disminuye el ensuciamiento de la membrana, estabilizando el flujo y la concentracion en el permeado.

VMD was studied at moderate temperature (30, 40 and 50°C) and pressure (0.11, 0.20 and 0.30 atm) conditions, whereas SGMD was studied at different temperatures (50 and 70°C) and air-flow rates (10x10-6 and 20x10-6 m³·min-1). These techniques were experimentally studied using prepared ethanol-water solutions and fermented broths, with ethanol at 10% w/w. Under these operating conditions and using prepared ethanol-water solutions, an average total flux of 22.61 and 1.6 kg·m-2·h-1, and concentration factors of 2.3 and 1.7 were obtained for VMD and SGMD, respectively. For fermented broths, total flux of 17.66 and 0.9 kg·m-2·h-1, and concentration factors of 1.8 and 1.9 were obtained for VMD and SGMD, respectively. The fouling impact was also studied, finding a significant effect of pressure (vacuum) for VMD technique; mainly due to the biomass presence in the solution. Experimental results show that applying pressurization/depressurization cycles decreases membrane fouling, stabilizing flux and concentration in the permeate. While for SGMD configuration, the incidence of fouling was significantly lower. portuguesEste trabalho esta focado na Destilacao com Membranas em Vacuo (VMD em ingles) e com Gas de Arrastre (SGMD, em ingles) como tecnica para a separacao do etanol de solucoes aquosas.

El yacimiento puede compactarse bajo una deformacion elastica hasta que la presion de poros caiga alcanzando el limite elastico, a partir del cual se inicia la deformacion plastica que es conocida como la compactacion mecanica. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer modelos que permitan representar y predecir con aproximacion la magnitud de la compactacion en el pozo que puede desarrollarse en un yacimiento durante la produccion de aceite (se podria usar otro modelo que amplie el rango de alcance hasta los limites del yacimiento), integrando un modelo matematico de compactacion uniaxial con la ecuacion de caida de presion en la cara de la formacion, luego la construccion de un modelo numerico que reproduce el fenomeno de compactacion y sus cambios en el tiempo.

Reservoir can elastically compact itself until pore pressure drops to the elastic limit, then initiates a plastic deformation known as mechanical compaction. Using numerical models is a good tool for compaction prediction; as they can predict reservoir behavior. This paper is purported by some models that allow providing for an approximate representation and prediction of the compaction magnitude at the wellbore developed in oil reservoirs during production (another model could be used to amplify the range until reservoir limits), integrating a uniaxial compaction mathematical model with pressure drawdown equation in formation face, and then a numerical model is built aimed reproducing the phenomenon and its changes over time. The mathematical model is built with the uniaxial compaction model and the drawdown pressure equation.

One of these tools that is useful both for planning and response of oil spills is the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI), which establishes the degree of sensitivity of different coastal areas depending on their geophysics, hydrodynamic and biological characteristics. ESI contributes and prioritize to improve response actions to minimize potential environmental impacts. This index is a key element for the construction of the Environmental Sensitivity Maps for oil spills (ESM), but for its correct application, it has to be adjusted to the needs and conditions of each country. This paper presents the adaptation of the ESI for Colombian coastal environments, which has been constructed through the revision of experiences in other countries and the collaboration of national and international experts during workshops. The ESI presented here is the main tool for the elaboration of ESM for Colombia, an instrument that will help in the planning and response process for oil spills in the country.","PeriodicalId":10235,"journal":{"name":"Ciencia Tecnologia y Futuro","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87070962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wettability is determined first by restoring the wettability of the samples, for 200 hours and 1000 hours at reservoir conditions (T = 144°F and P = 1350 psi). After that, rock wettability is calculated using the AmottHarvey method, obtaining results of neutral wettability. It is then determined by the visual method for comparison purposes, in order to conclude that rock wettability is neutral. It is important to emphasize that the visual method is of great relevance, because it provides a real view of how the fluids are distributed within the rock to obtain representative results, in order to make decisions that optimizes the production of the field under study.","PeriodicalId":10235,"journal":{"name":"Ciencia Tecnologia y Futuro","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86649863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
