A small-scale fixed film biological aerated filter （BAF） process was used to treat the wastewater. The influences of hydraulic retention time （HRT）, air/water volume flow ratio and backwashing cycle on treatment efficiencies were investigated. The wastewater was treated by the BAF process under optimal conditions： the HRT of 1.0 h, the air/water volume flow ratio of about 5 ： 1 and the backwashing cycle of every 4-7 days. The results showed that the average removal efficiency of COD, oil pollutants and SS was 84.5%, 94.0% and 83.4%, respectively. And the average effluent concentration of COD, oil pollutants and SS was 12.5, 0.27, 14.5 mg·L^-1, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the BAF process is a suitable and highly efficient method to treat the wastewater.展开更多

This was subsequently compared with commercial vegetable oil samples. Among the 23 different sunflower oil samples were tested, 10 of them showed posi-tive results to AFB1 and the remaining 13 showed negative results to AFB1. All the refined oil samples were free from AFB1 contamination.展开更多

Energy Information Administration. First generalized auto-regressive condi- tional beteroskedasticity （GARCH） is applied to a state space model, a hybrid model （SS-GARCH） is proposed. Afterwards by computing a special likelihood function with two weak assumptions, model parameters are estimated by means of a faster algorithm. Based on the SS-GARCH model with the identified parameters, oil prices of next three months are forecasted by applying a Kalman filter. Through comparing the results between the SS-GARCH model and an econometric structure model, the SS-GARCH method is shown that it improves the forecasting accuracy by decreasing the index of mean absolute error （ RMSE ） from 7. 09 to 2.99, and also decreasing the index of MAE from 3. 83 to 1.69. The results indicate that the SS-GARCH model can play a useful role in forecasting short-term crude oil prices.展开更多

Current downhole data acquisition technol-ogy allows continuous updating of the reservoir models and real-time control of well operations. Ensemble Kalman Filter is a model updating algorithm that permits rapid assimilation of production response for res-ervoir model updating and uncertainty assessment. The effect of the type and amount of production data on the updated geologic models was investigated first through a synthetic reservoir model, and then imple-mented on a laboratory experiment that simulated the production of a horizontal well affected by water con-ing. The worth of periodic model updating for optimized production and oil recovery is demonstrated.展开更多
