Current research projects

 

Developing green corrosion inhibitors for O&G applications 

Team: Mustafa Alsalem, sponsored by Saudi Aramco

This project focuses on developing and testing novel corrosion inhibitors to protect against corrosion attacks in harsh environments of oil and gas processes.

 

Synthesis of green corrosion inhibitors 

Team: Samson Anuchi, sponsored by Commonwealth Scholarships

 

Green inhibitors for post-combustion capture systems 

Team: Nicha al-Manee

Nicha’s MSc research project with Dr. Kyra Campbell is focused on reducing corrosion of the vessel steel caused by a classic amine solution used in carbon capture process. Her work is currently probing the interactions between corrosion inhibitor, amine solution and steel surface.
