Reduction of Pollutant Toxicity Levels in Produced Water from Crude Oil Production Processes (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Tota-Maharaj, K., & Ngene, S. (2018). Reduction of Pollutant Toxicity Levels in Produced Water from Crude Oil Production Processes.

Produced water from crude oil production process is imbued with various contaminants which makes it unsafe for discharge into the environment without adequate treatment. The weight fractions of these contaminants vary from one well to another dependi... Read More about Reduction of Pollutant Toxicity Levels in Produced Water from Crude Oil Production Processes.

Parametric stress distribution in 3D printed polymer quadric-surfaced sludge digesters (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Ramroop, N., Tota-Maharaj, K., & Anoyatis, G. (2018, June). Parametric stress distribution in 3D printed polymer quadric-surfaced sludge digesters. Paper presented at 5th International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) Europe Congress-New Challenges in Hydraulic Research and Engineering, University of Trento, Italy

The stresses developed in the shell of the quadric surfaced sludge digester, vary according to the height-to-diameter ratio. The optimum dimensions of a 3D printed polymer digester due to hydrostatic loading is evaluated through finite element analys...

Evaluation of engineered wetlands and filter drains as Low Impact Development (LID) technologies for stormwater management in refugee camps (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Tota-Maharaj, K., & Ajibade, O. (2018, June). Evaluation of engineered wetlands and filter drains as Low Impact Development (LID) technologies for stormwater management in refugee camps. Paper presented at 5th IAHR Europe Congress- New Challenges in Hydraulic Research and Engineering, University of Trento, Italy

Refugee and internally displaced persons camps face annual flooding problems related to hydrological problems such as localised ponding of surface water and flooding events followed by periods of droughts. This research project comprises of four set...
