Abstract

The increasing environmental problem of fertilizer wastewater associated by high loads of pollutants, necessitates the microbial fuel cell innovative treatment technologies that not only mitigate pollution but also generate power. This research investigates the dual-purpose application of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs)for thecombined treatment and power generation from fertilizer wastewater, offering a sustainable solution that integrates wastewater remediation with renewable energy production. The study explores the design, optimization, and performance evaluation of single- and dual-chamber microbial fuel cell systems using urea fertilizer wastewater as substrates. Key parameters including chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, dissolve Oxygen, % ammonia and %Urea reduction, Current and power density were monitored under varying operational conditions (e.g., electrode materials, pH, temperature, retention time). Advanced electrochemical and microbiological techniques were employed to characterize the anodic biofilms and understand the dynamics of the electroactive microbial communities driving the simultaneous biodegradation and electron transfer processes. Result demonstrate that microbial fuel cell can achieve treatment of fertilizer wastewater (COD > 80%, ammonia > 70%) while generating stable output outputs up to 0.66MA and voltage of 0.91V, depending on reactor configuration and substrate concentration. The experimental result shows that Ammonia fertilizer plant effluent is one of the best substrates for energy generation in mfc. The integration of bio electrochemical systems with fertilizer industry effluents not only enhances wastewater treatment efficiency but also contributes to decentralized. This thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the feasibility, challenges, and scalability of MFC technology for agro-industrial applications, contributing to the global pursuit of circular economy models and sustainable wastewater-energy nexus solutions.

Abstract

Optimising cement slurry properties through appropriate additive selection is critical for ensuring successful zonal isolation and preventing costly wellbore failures in oil and gas operations. This research investigated the effects of dispersant and fluid loss additive concentrations on the thickening time and free fluid formation of Class G cement slurry. A systematic two-factor three-level (3²) factorial design was employed, generating nine experimental runs. Statistical analysis included correlation analysis, ANOVA, and multiple regression modelling. The results revealed that dispersant concentration exhibited the strongest influence on thickening time behaviour, establishing it as the primary control mechanism for cement slurry pumpability. Fluid loss additive concentration demonstrated dual functionality, serving both as an effective filtration control agent and providing secondary influence on thickening time. Significant interaction effects were observed between dispersant and fluid loss additive concentrations (p = 0.040), indicating synergistic behaviours. Multiple regression analysis yielded highly predictive models for both response variables, with R² = 0.981 for thickening time and R² = 0.845 for free fluid. The developed models provide a systematic framework for cement slurry optimisation in oil well cementing operations, enabling precise targeting of cement slurry properties for improved well integrity and performance. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of factorial experimental design methodology for understanding complex additive interactions in cement slurry systems.

Abstract

Optimising cement slurry properties is critical for successful zonal isolation and preventing wellbore failures in oil and gas operations. This research investigated the effects of dispersant (0.1-1.0% BWOC) and fluid loss additive (0.1-0.35 gal/sk) concentrations on thickening time and free fluid formation of Class G cement slurry using a 3² factorial design. Thickening time was measured with an atmospheric consistometer; free fluid via HTHP filter press. Analysis included ANOVA and multiple regression modeling. Key findings Dispersant strongly influences thickening time (R² = 0.981, RMSE = 8.731 min). Fluid loss additive controls filtration and moderately affects thickening time. Significant dispersant-fluid loss additive interaction (p = 0.040) indicates synergistic effects. Models enable predictive optimization of cement slurry properties
