Abstract: Corrosion in pipelines and reservoir tanks in oil plants is a serious problem in the energy industries around the world because it causes a huge economic loss due to not only frequent replacements of the parts of pipelines and tanks but also potential damage of the entire fields of crude oil. Current studies have revealed that corrosions are generated by microbial activities and they are now called as Microbial influences Corrosion (MIC) or simply bio-corrosion. Bacterial species actually causing bio-corrosion is crucial information for the suppression of the corrosion.
To diagnose and give proper treatment to pipelines in industrial plants, it is essential to identify the bacterial species responsible for bio-corrosions. For this aim, I conducted an analysis of the microbial community at the corrosion sites in pipelines of oil plants, using the comparative metagenomic analysis along with bioinformatics and statistics.
Identifying the bacterial species responsible to bio-corrosion, this study provides us with information on bacterial indicators that will be available to classify and diagnose bio-corrosions. Furthermore, these species may be available as biomarkers to detect the events of bio-corrosion at an early stage. Then, any appropriate care such as the appropriate choice of biocides can be taken immediately and appropriately. Thus, my study will provide a platform for obtaining microbial information related to bio-corrosion that enables us to obtain a practical approach to protect them from bio-corrosion.
Bio: Budoor Ali Nasser is a lab scientist in R&DC at Saudi Aramco since 2010 . She got her bachelor degree in chemistry from Dammam university 2007. After her graduation she worked as a chemistry teacher in high school then move to Bahrain complete her master's degree in environmental biotechnology ( 2009 ) . In 2019 she completes her PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering at KAUST, after that she resume working in R&DC on different research project . Her main interest in petroleum biotechnology ( MIC microbial influences corrosion ,MEOR microbial enhance oil recovering, bio-surfactant, bio-desulfurization, etc.) . She conducted the first study that use metagenomic tools to analyze the microbial community at the corrosion site in pipelines in Saudi Aramco for (water, oil) pipeline of oil plant by using the comparative metagenomic analysis along with bioinformatics and statistics.
She participated in many Volunteering project in local schools to make kid-friendly science experiment with the student. (2008 – present) and Lead many student groups that participate in different competitions.
