Petroleum sludge treatment and oil recovery: Review paper
Abstract: Oily sludge is a type of semi solid hydrocarbon waste material that produced by the petroleum industry. It is generally mixture of water, crude oil, and sludge that is solid matter. As it contains large amounts of various types of hydrocarbon like paraffinic hydrocarbon, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon, cycloalkanes, aromatic compound , poly aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene series, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, some metals, sulphur, nitrogen and other toxic and harmful substances, …

Understanding the Delamination and Its Effect on Charpy Impact Energy in Thick Wall Linepipe Steel
Abstract: The thick wall linepipes produced from thermo-mechanical-controlled hot-rolled high-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) plates are characterized by heterogeneity of microstructures through thickness. This microstructural heterogeneity results delamination and is responsible for substantial differences in the toughness behavior of the linepipe steel. The objective of this research work was to investigate these differences in impact energy using Charpy V-notch impact test in correlation with microscopic observations on fractured surfaces of the selected …

Structural Design of Offshore Structures: A Review of Indian and International Standards
Abstract: Offshore structures—including fixed steel jackets, topside modules, offshore wind turbine support structures, and floating systems—are designed to withstand combined gravity, environmental, seismic, and operational loads under substantial uncertainty and limited access for inspection and repair. Structural design practice has historically relied on internationally recognized standards, particularly the American Petroleum Institute’s API RP 2A, the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 19900 series, including ISO 19902 for fixed steel structures, and Det …
