  Characterization and Photocatalytic Treatment of Oil Produced Water Using TiO2

  By M. A. A. Al Mashari, M. J. Varghese, S. Feroz, L. N. Rao

  Abstract: Photo catalytic oxidation is gaining momentum in treating waste water very effectively coupled with solar energy. The solar nano photo catalytic technique involves excitation of a semiconductor through the adsorbent of the electromagnetic radioactivity, most generally within the UV spectrum. In one methodology titanium dioxide semiconductor is excited by using photons which possess sufficient electricity to motivate electrons from valence band which known as band gap, to the conduction band. …

  Investigation of High Corrosion Rate in Oil Production Carbon Steel Pipelines

  By A.A. L. Zaabi, S. Feroz, Lakkimsetty Nageswara Rao

  Abstract: A comprehensive study to identify the causes and the types of internal corrosion of a 16 inch oily water production piping from production wells, which was found to be severely corroded (corrosion rate ≈5.5 mm/year) was considered. The study involves collecting and analyzing of different parameters like production data, flow velocity, CO2 partial pressure, water quantities and water species contents, gas species contents, scale chemical elements, etc. This study is …
