Determination of safe limit for arsenic contaminated irrigation water using solubility free ion activity model (FIAM) and Tobit Regression Model (2020)
Journal Article

Irrigation water contaminated with arsenic acts as a potent source of contamination to humans through water-soil-crop-food transfer so quantification of safe limit for irrigation water is also critical. A pot experiment was conducted to determine the...

However, despite the increasing use of risk-based surveillance... Read More about Optimising risk-based surveillance for early detection of invasive plant pathogens.

An experimental study on high-pressure water jets for paraffin scale removal in partially blocked production tubings (2020)
Journal Article

The common practice of using chemicals and solid-entrained liquids to remove soft scales in production tubings is associated with a high risk of contaminating the environment and eroding pipe internal surfaces. Due to the suspended solids, the curren... Read More about An experimental study on high-pressure water jets for paraffin scale removal in partially blocked production tubings.
