Faculty mentors: Dr. Mahmood Amani (Primary research mentor), Dr. Salem AlJuhani, Dr. Albertus Retnanto, and industry mentor Mr. Marck Dick (Schlumberger)
Undergraduate researchers: Mohammad Khorasani, Tareq Ali, Mohammed Abu Ghazaleh, Mohammed Hanbal, Abdulrahman Al-Qatami, Abdullah Taha
This project proposes a novel, environment-friendly and cheap method of degassing that uses ultrasonic waves to remove gas bubbles from liquid systems. This method could be incorporated with already existing degassing technologies to increase their efficiency.
