About the Project
The scale deposition and aggregation of calcium carbonate in the production facility is challenging problem in the petroleum industry. For this reason, preventing scale formation is critical for oil and gas industry.
Different techniques have been used to reduce the formation of the scale where the measurements are carried out offline. This project aims to use a new inline measurement based on focused reflectance beam measurement (FBRM). This technique will be used to study the effect of ultrasound on the precipitation, aggregation and deposition of the calcium carbonate.
During the course of the project, the student will be trained on different production and analysing techniques that used in powder technology.
The student will be encouraged to attend different conferences of powder technology both inside and outside UK.
