A Mathematical Model for Green Emulsion Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Batch and Semi-Batch Reactors
type: item
description: Emulsion polymerization is a green and sustainable process, as it employs water as the reaction medium, enables high monomer conversion at low viscosity, provides efficient heat removal, and minimizes the use of organic solvents, thereby reducing environmental impact and energy consumption. Owing to lower process temperatures, enhanced heat transfer, and the elimination or significant reduction of volatile organic compounds, emulsion polymerization also contributes to reduced process-related carbon dioxide emissions, supporting pathways toward net-zero carbon manufacturing when coupled with renewable energy sources and solvent-free downstream processing. In this work, a mathematical model is developed to simulate the isothermal, well-mixed batch and semi-batch emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate using a monodisperse particle size approximation. For batch operation, the model predicts the temporal evolution of monomer conversion, rate of polymerization, total particle surface area, and volume-average particle diameter at different initiator concentrations. Model predictions for the total number of particles are compared with experimental data reported in the literature, demonstrating continuous nucleation behavior. For unseeded semi-batch operation, the effects of monomer feed rate on monomer conversion and particle number are investigated. Good agreement between model predictions and experimental observations is obtained, particularly under monomer-starved operating conditions.

Harnessing Plant Physiology and Nanotechnology to Transform Agriculture and Urban Green paces: Pathways to Net-Zero
type: item
description: Achieving sustainable and climate-resilient systems requires innovative approaches that bridge scientific discovery with practical application. Plants, as the cornerstone of both agriculture and urban ecosystems, have a profound role in carbon sequestration, climate regulation, and ecosystem services. Yet, their potential is often limited by environmental stresses, nutrient inefficiencies, and suboptimal management practices. This presentation explores cutting-edge strategies combining plant physiological insights and nanotechnology-based interventions to enhance crop resilience, optimize yield, and improve urban green space performance. Recent research demonstrates that foliar application of micronutrients (Zn, Fe, B), biostimulants such as Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract, and silicon nanoparticles can significantly increase stress tolerance, nutrient efficiency, and productivity in major crop species. Beyond agriculture, these strategies inform sustainable urban landscaping practices, enabling cities to maximize ecological benefits, improve carbon capture, and create greener, healthier environments. By showcasing concrete examples and measurable outcomes, this talk aims to inspire participants-from researchers to urban planners-to adopt science-driven, practical approaches that simultaneously advance plant performance, urban sustainability, and global net- zero goals. Participants will leave with actionable insights, highlighting how integrating physiology, nanotechnology, and thoughtful green space management can transform both farms and cities into resilient, carbon-smart ecosystems.

High‑Voltage Eco‑Corridor: A Proposal for Urban Ecological Carbon Capture
type: item
description: Urban residential areas generate continuous low level diffuse CO2 emissions from traffic, buildings, and neighbourhood industries—sources that conventional industrial CCUS systems cannot directly address. This proposed study introduces the High Voltage Eco Corridor, a conceptual linear ecological carbon-capture and research corridor to be established beneath high-voltage transmission lines. It aims to address a gap in CCUS application by exploring ecological solutions in underutilized urban-edge infrastructure, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. The project plans to integrate deep-rooted, low-lying, high-sequestration plant species with soil-carbon monitoring, microclimate sensors, EMF–plant interaction studies, and biodiversity assessments. Data on vegetation growth, soil quality, and ecological performance will be collected to evaluate potential carbon capture and co-benefits. Anticipated outcomes include increased soil and biomass carbon, enhanced biodiversity, improved microclimate regulation, and actionable datasets to guide urban planning. By proposing a scalable, low-cost approach, the Eco-Corridor is designed to complement industrial CCUS strategies and contribute to climate mitigation, urban resilience, and sustainable land use. While piloted in the UAE, the model is intended to provide transferable insights for cities worldwide.

Net Zero Carbon: Conceptual Framework and Assessment Approaches
type: item
description: The concept of Net Zero Carbon and carbon neutrality has emerged as a central pillar in global climate mitigation strategies, aiming to balance anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions with removals within defined system boundaries. Despite widespread adoption of net zero targets across sectors, inconsistencies in definitions, accounting boundaries, and assessment methodologies continue to pose significant challenges for transparent and comparable evaluations. This presentation provides a concise overview of the conceptual foundations of carbon neutrality and net zero carbon, highlighting their evolution from early standards. The study reviews key international standards and frameworks governing net zero and carbon neutrality assessments, including PAS2060, ISO 14064-1,2,3, ISO 14067, ISO 14068, the GHG Protocol, and emerging voluntary carbon market guidelines. Particular emphasis is placed on the progression of these standards toward prioritizing emission reductions, robust baseline definition, transparent reporting and credible carbon credits. To demonstrate the practical application of these frameworks, a case study of a tea estate is presented. The assessment integrates activity-based emission accounting across Scopes 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 categories, alongside quantification of biogenic carbon sequestration from plantation biomass and associated land-use systems. The net carbon balance is evaluated to determine whether the estate meets net zero or carbon neutrality criteria and to assess its eligibility for carbon credit generation under prevailing verification requirements. The case study illustrates key methodological considerations, data uncertainties, and decision thresholds that influence net zero claims. Overall, the presentation aims to bridge conceptual frameworks and applied assessment approaches, offering insights relevant to academia, policymakers, and industry stakeholders engaged in credible net zero transitions.

Stability-Driven Approaches for a Sustainable and Safe Energy Transition
type: item
description: The global shift toward sustainable and low-carbon technologies presents major challenges, particularly due to the limited understanding of the dynamic behavior of novel process equipment. Electrified units and next-generation chemical reactors, often at low technological maturity, require careful assessment not only from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives, but also in terms of safety and controllability. In this context, stability-based methodologies emerge as powerful tools to explore the fundamental behavior of chemical systems and to define safe and reliable operating conditions. By integrating stability analysis into reactor design, optimization, and control, it becomes possible to identify intrinsically safe operating regimes and enhance process resilience—thus enabling a safer and more efficient transition toward sustainable technologies.

Sourcing and Applications of Materials with Phase Change
type: item
description: Phase change materials (PCMs) have recently been introduced to improve the thermal properties of building materials, including thermal mass, thermal inertia, and specific heat capacity. PCMs are substances capable of storing and releasing a large amount of heat energy when undergoing phase transitions. These are grouped into three main categories, namely organic, inorganic and eutectic mixtures. The incorporation of PCMs into materials such as concrete and gypsum significantly increases their thermal mass, which helps regulate the interior temperature of buildings. Consequently, energy conservation in buildings through Thermal Energy Storage (TES) becomes more achievable. The advantages of using PCM for the accumulation of thermal energy and cold, respectively, in construction and air conditioning installations, as well as in other fields, has led several companies to produce different PCMs for commercial applications. Based on the external climatic parameters corroborated with the comfort microclimate: indoor, the technical applications of PCM can have the following destinations: heat storage systems; cold accumulation systems; mixed heat and cold storage systems. Regardless of the field and technical method of use, PCM applications are similar to regenerative heat exchangers, being characterized by cyclic operation, the exchanger being successively traversed by thermal agents. The most widely used inorganic PCMs in the temperature range specific to buildings and air conditioning installations are: Crystallohydrates: AB∙nH2 O, are crystalline solids derived from salts containing water molecules. Crystallohydrates are similar to alloys composed of salts, in most cases inorganic and water, which form a crystalline solid; Metals and metallic binary (eutectic) solutions have low melting/solidification temperatures. The main advantage of metallic PCM is determined by the high thermal conductivity compared to the other PCMs. The bibliographic study indicated few referenc…

The Antecedents of Consumer Attitude Towards the Use of Renewable Energy in the United Arab Emirates
type: item
description: UAE has a strong dedication to sustainability and environmental conservation, as evident in its varied energy production methods. While the country predominantly relies on non-renewable fossil fuels like natural gas and oil as its main energy sources, it is actively pursuing ambitious objectives to enhance the adoption of renewable resources such as solar and wind power. The Energy consumption in the United Arab Emirates residential sector has an intense relationship with consumers’ physical, demographic, and behavioural characteristics. This study aims to understand how consumers’ physical, demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioural characteristics affects their acceptance of renewable energy in the residential sector in the United Arab Emirates. This study tested the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to predict consumers’ intentions to use renewable energy in the United Arab Emirates and included the “willingness to pay” variable. For this study, data was gathered data through a questionnaire survey, receiving responses of 400 residents from all seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates. The findings showed that the average household income in the residential sector has an important effect on consumers’ intentions to use renewable energy. In this study, the subjective norm (perceived behavioural control) and the willingness to pay construct significantly affected consumers’ intentions to use renewable energy, while attitudes toward the behaviour did not. The limitations and recommendation for the influencing consumers’ attitude towards renewable energy also discussed.

Reservoir Simulation Using Synthetic Data for CO2 Sequestration in Saline Aquifers Using CMG Simulator
type: item
description: Introduction CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers is a promising solution for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. These deep geological formations offer vast storage capacities for securely trapping CO2 through multiple mechanisms: Structural Trapping (CO2 is contained beneath impermeable cap rock layers), Residual Trapping (Capillary forces immobilize CO2 in pore spaces), Solubility Trapping (CO2 dissolves into formation brine), Mineral Trapping (CO2 reacts with minerals form stable carbonate components). Understanding these mechanisms and their interactions is critical for optimizing storage efficiency and ensuring long-term security. The objective of the study is to do extensive sensitivity analysis on model of layered permeability using commercial simulator CMG, to analyse the influence of geological parameters (porosity, pressure, permeability, thickness) and other factor such as injection rate on the trapping mechanisms. These are done to determine which of the trapping mechanism is more likely effective to hold CO2 in long term storage. Method CMG builder was used to develop a basic 3D reservoir model, the parameter input are as below mentioned. A 5-spot pattern well is considered in the current study. A well is placed at the centre of model to act as injection well with well-being perforated throughout the model at each layer, it allows us to study the CO2 plume migration in all directions. Four production wells are placed at edges to simulate pressure management, preventing excessive pressure build up in the aquifer. The aquifer dimensions are 53000x53000x1000ft, with layered permeability is taken. The aquifer model is structured in a 40x40x40 grid arrangement (64000 blocks). Conclusions Based on the study, solubility trapping is dominant during the injection phase, whereas residual trapping overtakes it post-injection, particularly in high-pressure, high-permeability, and highly porous aquifers. The thickness of the aquifer plays a crucial role, with larg…

Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Petroleum Industry Saline Medium
type: item
description: Corrosion is major problem with metals. When they come in contact of surrounding corrosive medium to construct a corrosion cell on their interface, metals undergo in corrosion reactions. Such environments metals can be exhibited uniform, galvanic, pitting, stress, crevice, embrittlement, intergranular corrosion etc. The corrosion of phenomenon of rebar steel studied in saline water. It creates corrosive medium for rebar steel due to availability of chloride ions. Rebar steel is used for the construction of bridge, road, airport and building. These components interact with saline medium producing corrosion reactions. Saline water chloride ions attack on rebar steel to form corrosion cell and corrode metals. Rebar steel is covered with concrete and that structure is dipped into saline water by the process of osmosis chloride ions are entered inside the structure creates dissolving and swelling chemical corrosion with nonmetallic components and electrochemical corrosion with metal. For this work synthesized electron rich organic compounds 2-(propan-2-ylidene) propane-1,3-diamine. The corrosion rate of rebar steel was calculated before and after coating by gravimetric method at different temperatures in presence different concentrations of saline water. Potentiostat technique used for the measurement of corrosion potential, corrosion current and corrosion current density in various concentrations of saline water and coating compound. The surface coverage area and coating efficiency were determined by corrosion rate uncoated and coated rebar steel. The coating compound adhered on the surface of base metal by chemisorptions and it confirmed by thermodynamical parameters like activation energy, heat of adsorption, free energy, enthalpy and entropy. The surface adsorption phenomenon completed by Langmuir, Frendlich and Temkin isotherms. The results of thermodynamical parameters and surface adsorption confirmed that coating compound formed stable passive barrier which increa…

Tribological Assessment of Porous Kozeny Carman Short Bearings Under Viscosity Variation and Elastic Roughness Deformation
type: item
description: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of a porous, rough, elastic short bearing operating under ferrohydrodynamic lubrication with viscosity variation. Rosensweig’s viscosity formulation is incorporated to represent magnetoviscous effects, while the Neuringer–Rosensweig model governs magnetic fluid flow in a porous medium. A stochastic averaged modified Reynolds equation is developed to capture the combined influences of porosity, deformable surface roughness, viscosity variation, and elastic deformation. Numerical solutions are obtained using a finite-difference approach to evaluate the pressure profile and corresponding load carrying capacity (LCC). The results reveal that elastic deformation, porosity, and positively skewed roughness significantly reduce LCC, whereas transverse and negatively skewed roughness textures enhance performance. Viscosity variation and magnetization can partially counteract performance losses when deformation is small and the bearing aspect ratio is optimally chosen. The study highlights the complex interplay between microstructural porosity, surface topology, and magnetoviscous effects, offering design insights for optimizing advanced ferrofluid-lubricated bearing systems.

Composition of Oil and Layer Waters and it’s Impact on the Ecology of the Caspian Sea
type: item
description: The article presents a brief analysis in the field of oil chemistry: the study of microelements in oils and formation (layer) waters, as well as environmental problems arising from offshore oil and gas production. The impact of oil and gas production on the ecology of the Caspian is shown; it was noted that from an ecological point of view, the study of the microelement composition of processed oil is very important for identifying sources of environmental pollution by oil, because microelements are present in all oil fractions, starting with gasoline ones, and their amount, as a rule, increases with an increase in the boiling point of the fraction, reaching a maximum in the residues.

Mathematical and Computer Modeling of Technological Parameters of Anaerobic Fermentation in Bioreactors
type: item
description: This research article examines computer and mathematical modeling of anaerobic digestion in livestock waste recycling. Several approaches to mathematical modeling of anaerobic digestion processes are considered, including ADM1 modeling. The creation of a computer program based on a self-developed mathematical model is described. A mathematical model of anaerobic fermentation has been proposed, which has proven its efficiency and reliability under industrial-scale conditions. This mathematical model was developed based on regression analysis and general correlation, with the identification of empirical relationships between biogas yield and 20 different process parameters that are measured by appropriate biosensors during industrial production. The mathematical model we developed, taking into account a small volume of static data, and in our case for 5 positions of measured values, showed an average approximation error equal to 5.5% and a determination coefficient equal to 0.95, which proves to us a lower error, a high-quality and accurate measurement indicator. In this regard, the computer and mathematical model of anaerobic fermentation under industrial scale conditions that we proposed is considered effective and practical. The computer program was developed taking into account the concept of online statistical data transmission, using cellular communications and the Internet, and processing large amounts of statistical data, i.e., the Big Data concept. Flexibility, scalability, and accuracy are also considered. Machine learning technologies are proposed for using with this computer program, based on Big Data concepts.

Investigating Non-Uniformity of Wax Appearance Temperature of Crude Oil in Nigeria
type: item
description: A significant sample of crude oil found in Niger Delta have between moderate to high wax content which makes flow process sometimes difficult at low temperatures due to the formation of gel-like structure which increases viscosity of the fluid. Removal of wax from flowlines and reservoirs can account for significant additional operating costs. To evaluate these potential costs, the operating conditions that allow waxes to precipitate at any point in the production line be identified, and deposition rates must also be estimated to determine the implications associated with removal of wax deposits. This project investigates the non-uniformity in wax appearance temperature of crude oil in the Niger delta and the flow behavior of waxy crude oil under variation in the temperature of the external environment of the flow. The temperature at which the first wax crystals appear during cooling is known as the wax appearance temperature. once below the WAT, the crude oil can form the gel like structure. Breaking down this structure to restart and maintain the flow often require energy and cost intensive approach. This project focuses on characterizing different waxy crude oil samples using thermal and compositional analysis, specifically with measurement of WAT in the context of the field of flow assurance. The test is based on the experimental design technique, and the behavior of the fluids evaluated based on the variation generated by the flow. The carbon distribution of oil samples and their corresponding wax components were analyzed by high temperature gas Chromatography. The crude oil properties determined include wax content, Aromatics, asphaltene, saturates and resin content by HPLC, pour point, wax appearance temperature by optical microscopy and paraffin carbon number distribution of whole oil and wax precipitate by GC- FID. Asphaltene and resin content were found to influence the oil cloud point, while saturates content, paraffin carbon number of crystallizing waxes…

Critical Evaluation of Crude Oil and Sediments from Selected Areasof the Niger Delta
type: item
description: Understanding the occurrence, composition, and distribution of aliphatic hydrocarbons (AHCs) is crucial for assessing anthropogenic contributions and identifying the sources of AHCs in the environment. Therefore, this study focused on analyzing the concentrations, distribution patterns, and compositional characteristics of AHCs present in crude oil and sediments from the Udu, Ethiope East, and Ughelli North Local Government Area. A total of nine crude oil samples and ten sediment samples were gathered from the research area. The concentrations of AHCs in these samples were quantified using gas chromatography with a Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) following extraction with a hexane/dichloromethane mixture and subsequent purification using a silica gel/alumina packed column. Analysis of the molecular indices indicated that the aliphatic hydrocarbons (AHCs) present in the sediments originated from marine biogenic, terrestrial biogenic, and petrogenic sources, whereas the hydrocarbons in the crude oil were derived exclusively from marine and terrestrial biogenic sources.

Geochemistry of Oil and Oil–Source Rock Correlation in Kareem-Rudeis Formations in the Central Gulf of Suez, Egypt
type: item
description: The present study focuses on organic geochemical studies of source rock and crude oil in Kareem and Rudeis rocks in GG85-1, WFA-1 wells in the central Gulf of Suez. The objectives of this study are the correlation between the two crude oil samples from Kareem Formation and Rudeis Formation and their extracts. The physical and geochemical studies revealed that the the generated oil from Kareem and Rudeis formations are classified as mature and paraffinic oils generated from mixed organic source under suboxic depositional conditions. Meanwhile, their extracts show different maturity level and organic source. Both the geochemical and chemometric analyses (HCA) reveal no affinity between the generated oils of kareem and Rudeis formations and their organic matter. This indicates that the oils reservoired in Kareem and Rudeis formation originated from another source rock. Rudeis and Kareem formation are not the effective source rock in the central Gulf of Suez.

Production of Bio-Oil by Pyrolysis of açaí (Euterpe Oleracea, Mart.)Seeds Fibers and Slurry [Powder]
type: item
description: The intensification of the search for renewable energy sources, combined with growing envi-ronmental concerns regarding the disposal of agro-industrial waste, has driven the development of sustainable technological routes, such as pyrolysis. In this context, the açaí seed, a lignocel-lulosic residue widely available in the Amazon region, stands out as a promising raw material to produce biofuels and value-added chemical inputs. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of pyrolysis of açaí seed fibers and sludge, carried out at 450°C, focusing on the production and characterization of bio-oil and aqueous phase. The preliminary physicochemical characterization of the biomass indicated low ash content and high volatile content, desirable attributes for thermochemical conversion. Pyrolysis tests revealed a bio-oil yield of 1.15% by mass for fibers and 2.13% for sludge, with observed acidity of 173.11 and 144.25 mg KOH/g, respectively. The aqueous phase showed high acidity (191.60 mg KOH/g for fibers and 181.07 mg KOH/g for sludge) and low viscosity (1.45 mm²/s and 1.348 mm²/s, respectively), suggesting a composition rich in volatile organic compounds. FTIR spectroscopic analysis revealed the presence of hy-drocarbons and oxygenated compounds in the bio-oils, and a predominance of organic acids in the aqueous phases. The results demonstrate the potential of pyrolysis in the valorization of agro-industrial waste from the Amazon, contributing to the development of sustainable energy alternatives and the strengthening of practices aligned with the circular economy.

Microbial Purification of Oil and Gas Production Water at the Petrochad(mangara) Limited Badila Field
type: item
description: RPG14, RPG18 and RPG20 isolates selected at the end of a screening test were subjected to optimization of physicochemical and nutritional parameters. As a result, a 3-liter extraction for each culture medium was launched. The optimal yield after 20 days of incubation is estimated for RPG14 is 68.62 g/l, for RPG18 is 60.42 g/l and for RPG20 is 69.85 g/l. Five graduated tubes containing 150 ml each of oil and gas production water and therefore 25, 30 and 50 ml of supernatant of each isolates RPG14, RPG18 and RPG20 are added to each tube. The whole is placed on an electric centrifuge heater type MPW-260RH and rotates at 300 rpm for 15 minutes. At each centrifugation under a temperature (55, 70 and 75°C), the tubes are passed to a mini-wastewater decanter type 6016-SIMOP. The volume of the oil layer in the tube is read after 20min, 40min and 60min of decantation. The purification rate is calculated. The results reveal that biosurfactants can sanitize the EPP 100%. However, the quantity of biosurfactants does not have an influence on the purification. However, the longer the residence time of biosurfactants in the EPP, the higher the purification rate. The purified EPP is collected and subjected to a physicochemical analysis, these waters comply with the IFC 2007, WHO and FAO discharge standards.

Navigating the Climate Crossroads: Exploring Africa’s Response toClimate Change Challenges and Opportunities
type: item
description: Climate change poses an urgent threat to Africa, a continent highly vulnerable to its impacts despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions. The region faces increasingly frequent and severe climate events, including droughts, floods, and rising sea levels, which undermine food security, economic stability, and public health [1]. This research investigates Africa’s response to climate change, focusing on both the challenges it faces and the opportunities for adaptation and mitigation. The objectives of this study are to explore the socio- economic implications of climate change in Africa, assess the effectiveness of current policy frameworks, and identify innovative strategies that can foster sustainable development in the region. The research methodology employed is a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative data from interviews with policymakers and community leaders, alongside quantitative analysis of climate data from regional climate models and surveys on community-level impacts. The findings reveal a significant gap between climate policy formulation and implementation across various African nations, compounded by inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, and limited technological capacity [2]. Despite these challenges, the research highlights local adaptation initiatives, such as sustainable farming practices and community-based resilience projects, as effective solutions that can be scaled up [3]. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on climate change in Africa by emphasizing the need for context-specific, collaborative approaches that integrate indigenous knowledge and modern technology. Furthermore, the paper calls for a stronger African voice in global climate negotiations, advocating for increased investment in green technologies and regional partnerships to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Ultimately, the research provides policy recommendations aimed at enhancing Africa’s resilience while promoting sus…

Food Fraud in Olive Oils
type: item
description: The benefits of the food industry compared to other sectors are much lower, which is why producers are tempted to commit fraud. Although it is a bad practice committed with a wide variety of foods, it is worth noting the case of olive oil because it is a product of great value and with a high percentage of fraud. It is for all these reasons that the authenticity of olive oil has become a major problem for producers, consumers, and legislators. To avoid such fraud, it is necessary to develop analytical techniques to detect them. This review presents a complete analysis of the available instrumentation used in olive fraud, including spectroscopic and spectrometric methodologies and analyte separation techniques such as liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. Additionally, other methodology including protein-based biomolecular techniques and analytical approaches like metabolomic, hhyperspectral imaging and chemometrics are discussed.

Evaluating the Stability of Emulsion Fluid Synthesized with PalmOil Mill Waste for Enhancement of Hydrocarbon Withdrawal fromNiger Delta Oil Fields
type: item
description: The economic withdrawal of oil and gas from the Niger Delta oil wells has given rise to a lot of wells being abandoned as production declined to below the economic limit. Tertiary recovery of the remnant oil will demand a strategy to squeeze the remnant oil locked in the pores of the reservoir formation. One such technique is emulsion flooding. This paper evaluates the stability of a locally formulated emulsion fluid synthesized from the waste (palm oil mill effluent, and empty palm fruit bunch) of the palm oil mill industry. The palm oil mill effluent and empty palm fruit bunch were characterized using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectroscope, the oil component as indicated from the characterization was extracted using a centrifuge and separating funnel. The empty fruit bunch was burnt in an open space, and the ash was further homogenized using an electric blender. 350g of the ash was dissolved in 500 ml of distilled water, and the solution after thorough stirring, was filtered to remove undissolved particles. The oil extracted from the palm oil mill effluent, and the ash solution were mixed in a ratio of 30/70 and stirred vigorously to form emulsion fluid. The emulsion was evaluated for stability through visual observation, centrifugal test by varying the temperature from 30oc to 100oc with the RPM varied from 1000 to 1200, the interfacial tension between oil /ash solution of the emulsion fluid, shear stress determination, and droplet size distribution analysis. The result showed emulsion stability (%) of 100%, 99.5%, 99.2%, 98.8%, 98.3%, 97%, 96%, and 96% for temperature (oc ) of 30, 40, 50, 60,70,80,90 respectively. The analysis indicated that the emulsion sample has low interfacial tension, and moderate viscosity, and it is stable, and suitable for moderate-temperature reservoirs.
