Predicting hydrates plugging risk in subsea gas pipeline: CFD, analytical and linear regression modelling. (2024)
Thesis
UMUTEME, O.M. 2024. Predicting hydrates plugging risk in subsea gas pipeline: CFD, analytical and linear regression modelling. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2571400

This study addresses critical limitations in managing hydrate plugging risk for gas pipelines. The main challenges lie in accurately predicting hydrate deposition rates and associated pressure drops. To overcome these limitations, the study developed... Read More about Predicting hydrates plugging risk in subsea gas pipeline: CFD, analytical and linear regression modelling..

Adaptive swarm optimisation assisted surrogate model for pipeline leak detection and characterisation. (2023)
Thesis
ADEGBOYE, M.A. 2023. Adaptive swarm optimisation assisted surrogate model for pipeline leak detection and characterisation. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2071535

Pipelines are often subject to leakage due to ageing, corrosion and weld defects. It is difficult to avoid pipeline leakage as the sources of leaks are diverse. Various pipeline leakage detection methods, including fibre optic, pressure point analysi...

Improvement to hydrocyclone used in separating particles from produced water in the oil and gas industry. (2020)
Thesis
ADEWOYE, A.J. 2020. Improvement to hydrocyclone used in separating particles from produced water in the oil and gas industry. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1357822

Hydrocyclone is used to separate particles from produced water. It can be used in different industries, including oil and gas, water treatment and pharmaceutical (among others). The hydrocyclone can effectively separate particles larger than 10μm, bu... Read More about Improvement to hydrocyclone used in separating particles from produced water in the oil and gas industry..
