Based on the directives of the presidency of the chemical engineering department in activating the scientific visits for students in our department throughout the current academic year 2015/2016, the committee of summer training had made a scientific visit on Tuesday, 10.11.2015 to the first gas station in the south of Baghdad. A number of academic staff, engineers and fourth stage students within the branch of chemical processing engineering had contributed the visit and on the sidelines of the visit, engineer Firas Adnan who in charge on the training department at the gas station had been welcomed the academic staff and students in an especial hall where he made a seminar about the station and industrial safety procedure to be followed by workers at the plant. Soon after, the visitors (delegation) went to visit the unit of fuel reprocessing, department of reservoirs, filters, heat exchangers, turbine gaseous, and maintenance unit. It was also explained most of the accompanying environmental problems, particularly the problems of corrosion occurring in pipelines and reservoirs, the occurrence of oil emulsions, and the method of processing and throw water to the environment after treatment. Note that a special engineering staff from the station and an academic staff from our department had explained and answered the whole questions of students. At the end of the visit, all instructors, engineers and students were pleased with their happiness; the positive returns from this scientific activity that is carried out by the commission of summer training and they were also sent their thanks and appreciation to the head of the department to allow them this opportunity to see the industrial processes directly.

Within the scientific and cultural activities of the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2014-2015
13/10/2015
A Higher Diploma's student Jasim Muhsin Jasim in the research stage was given a lecture on his research:
Treatment of Wastewater Associated With Crude Oil in Reservoirs
under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thamer J. Mohammed on Al-Khwarizmi Hall and with the presence of the head of Chemical Engineering Department, Prof. Dr. Thamer Jassim Muhammad , the scientific aide ,the administrative aide and also both heads of the branches as well as a number of academic staff and students on Wednesday, 7/10/2015.
Considers Treatment-associated water crude oil in the oil reservoirs important processes , where the untreated such water will affect the quality of the oil and its price and properties .... etc. As well as it affects such produced water on human health and the environment and soil and groundwater, so this report is intended treatment such as this produced water for the purpose of getting free of crude oil , water and materials suspended solids and other materials .
Produced water, one of the main problems in the petroleum industry, is generated in increasing volumes from both old and new wells (Campos et al., 2005). This effluent represents 98% of all wastewater generated in the petroleum industry. This water contains complex organic and inorganic substances, such as salts, metals, dispersed oil and dissolved hydrocarbons and also presents high temperature and the absence of oxygen (Thomas, 2004). Therefore, produced water is an important source of pollutants and, as the environmental laws have become stricter, the cost of its treatment has become increasingly high. This fact has led to many efforts to find more effective and less expensive ways to treat this water ( Li et al., 2009 ).

Student Areeg Falih Khadtim earned M.Sc. Degree on thesis entitled:
Study for Removal of Phenols from Synthetic Wastewater using Solar Photo Catalytic Reactor
The supervisors are Assist.Prof. Mohammed fadhil Abid and Assist.Prof. Oroba Nafee Abdulaa .The discussion was held on Khwarizmi court on 5/10/2015.
present study was devoted to investigate the removal of phenol, which has been selected as a model for the toxic organic compounds from synthetic wastewater, by using a compound parabolic collector (CPC)photocatalysis system. The solar photo-catalytic system performance was tested in terms of the phenol degradation (%Rphenol) and TOC mineralization efficiency (%MTOC) by using FeSO4 as a catalyst and Oxalic acid as solar photo assisted agent to enhance the process efficiency. Different operating conditions were studied to investigate the performance of the photocatalysis system, such as initial phenol concentration, initial H2O2 concentration,FeSO4/Oxalic weigh ratio, pH of solution, and solution flow rate. The operating variables were optimized to obtain a maximum efficiency for the system performance. A quadratic-second degree polynomial equation was developed for (%Rphenol) and (%MTOC), relating them, in good agreement with the studied operating conditions. The influence of operating variables on the reaction pathways was investigated by estimating the corresponding rate constants. It was found that the radical reaction pathway, which produce the intermediate compoundsdecreased as pH increased more than pH=4. The radical reaction pathway was found to reach maximum value at H2O2 loading of 30 ppm. The effect of phenol concentration has a negative impact on the radical reaction pathway so does the weight ratio of FeSO4/Oxalate.
