Current Research

The rise in the world's energy demand has led to an increase in oil and gas exploitation and exploration activities. During these processes, crude oil and refined product spillages occur resulting to major environmental problems such as land pollution. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) is identified as a key land contaminant from these spillages that has led to the destruction of flora and posed severe health risks to human inhabitants. My research is focussed on carrying out a robust and systematic remediation technology evaluation for TPH removal from contaminated soils based on efficiency, energy requirement, speed, environmental impact, cost etc.
