Abstract: Gas and Oil plant construction projects are increasing recently all over oil-producing countries. An EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) company, which participates in the plant projects, should possess pertinent engineering licenses and EPC management techniques to create high added-value. Nonetheless, there exist various risks involved in the EPC life cycle process due to such characteristics of construction projects as long duration of construction time and complicated processes along with the procured goods or services subjected to various logistics. The objective of this paper is to analyze the overall EPC processes and to develop integrated information and knowledge Management system prototype. Additionally, the principal data for the analysis of the EPC process are derived from personal interviews with experts and specialty contractors of the plant projects. The results of this study would be widely used as a guide for efficient and effective management of overseas g

Abstract: Treatment of waste water containing emerging pollutants is always a challenge as most of the organic water contaminants are resistant to degradation using conventional techniques. Emerging pollutants are a classof compounds in the environment such as endocrinial disruptors resulting from the degradation of some organic compounds or introduction of medicine in the natural environment. One of the potential technologies in the area of removal of organic water pollutants is Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). Free radical induced degradation is the main process involved in AOP. It is generally observed that the degradation induced by any AOP may not lead to absolute mineralisation. In the present report, various AOPs for the destruction of a number of emerging pollutants are discussed. The advantages and limitations of these technologies are highlighted. Two main AOPs, hydrogen peroxide photolysis and sonolysis, for the destruction of two model pollutants such as fensulfothion and atenolol a
