EVALUATION OF THE PURIFICATION PROCESS IN RHAMNOLIPID BIOSURFACTANT FOR APPLICATION IN MICROBIAL-ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (MEOR)

Brazilian Journal of Petroleum and Gas, 2019
Biosurfactants are employed in several industrial applications which require a high purity level. However, the downstream purification processes are responsible for a large portion of the expenses incurred by biosurfactant production plants. The high costs associated with these processes turn their application on a large scale a challenge for companies.

Selection of an effective biocide and toxicity evaluation for a specific MEOR (microbial enhanced oil recovery) microbial formulation

, 1989
The two major environmental impacts associated with microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) are possible contamination of surface and groundwater and contamination of agricultural land. Other potential environmental problems associated with MEOR processes include changes in indigenous microflora in reservoirs caused by injection of nonindigenous ...

Lipopeptide biosurfactants for enhanced oil recovery: characterization and efficiency

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Background. Oil remains a critical resource in the global energy sector, accounting for approximately 30% of worldwide energy consumption. However, conventional primary and secondary recovery methods extract only 20-40% of oil reserves, which stimulates ...
