Apparatus for Treating Hydrocarbons. (open access)

Apparatus for Treating Hydrocarbons.

Patent for an improved apparatus for treating hydrocarbons. This apparatus is for treating comparatively heavy petroleum and other hydrocarbon oils and their distillates and derivatives, in order to produce from such heavy oils a large yield of gasoline or other light, easily volatile liquids. This apparatus will be a safe and efficient way to produce large yield of gasoline and light hydrocarbon liquids from heavy oils and will be free from trouble arising from the accumulation of carbon.

Feasibility of Using Remote-Sensing Techniques for Shoreline Delineation and Coastal Habitat Classification for Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Mapping (open access)

Feasibility of Using Remote-Sensing Techniques for Shoreline Delineation and Coastal Habitat Classification for Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Mapping

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) provides shoreline classification and a sensitivity ranking that is important for oil spill planning. This system has not been used in Louisiana due to the rapid changes of the shoreline, which is a potential threat due to high risk of oil spill in that region. This research paper's goal is to develop remote sensing classification procedures to create an ESI map for Louisiana and other areas that present similar issues.
