Our team will focus on developing an <b>eco-friendly approach</b> to combat biocorrosion in water cooling systems, specifically in the <b>oil-production industry</b>. A wide range of bacterial species are found in the areas near oil extraction facilities. Many of these organisms cause serious problems for the oil industry by producing corrosive by-products. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), the main species involved in the <b>Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC)</b>, can colonize on the pipelines by forming bacterial biofilms with the release of Extracellular Matrix Substances (EMS) for adhesion and colony growth. Currently, biocides are commonly used in the oil industry for targeting these bacteria. But, these chemicals ultimately end up in the sea water which poses a huge threat to marine life.

Human Practices


The following survey was distributed at different locations across Education City, as well as in some places in the city.



The following results were obtained from the survey. As a result of this, we decided to visit Qatar Academy as part of our outreach. This was beneficial in raising awareness about the issue among the general population.
