Industrial Tourism

PurposeIndustrial tourism not only strives to preserve industrial heritage, but can also be a strategy for being familiar with the history of industry and attracting tourists to new destinations. This paper examines the issue of promoting petroleum industrial tourism in the case of Khuzestan, Iran. The research aims at determining appropriate strategies for promoting petroleum industrial tourism.Design/methodology/approachThe data were analysed through a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) model.FindingsThe results revealed the competitive strategy as the best. Lastly, strategies such as: concentric diversification, joint venture strategy, conglomerate diversification and horizontal diversification were proposed as key solutions. The results support the view that establishing an exploratory ecomuseum in the territory of Khuzestan Province can be a suitable concentric diversification strategy towards petroleum industrial sustainable tourism in the future.Originality/valueThe main originality of this paper includes linking tourism with the petroleum (oil and natural gas) industry and its natural landscapes for the first time in a case study. Therefore, the results of this research can extend the literature in this regards. Moreover, this paper attracts tourists to visit natural landscapes of petroleum heritage.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a framework for the adaptive re-use of wheat milling buildings setting in modern urban contexts in Jordan. This paper also aims to highlight the industrial heritage with a focus on wheat milling buildings, which date back to the beginning of the 20th century, as they document and represent significant aspects of the socio-cultural history of Jordan.Design/methodology/approachThe approach to this statement will be through a theoretical investigation into the notion of industrial heritage, a historical overview of wheat milling in Jordan, as well as a case study analysis to support the theoretical framework following a value-based approach for the case of Baboor Al-Qisar. Baboor Al-Qisar is a wheat milling structure that the Department of Antiquities (DoA) is willing to adaptively reuse as an industrial museum that tells the local narrative of wheat milling and points out the non-physical values associated with the building’s original use.FindingsThe paper introduces a framework for wheat milling buildings incorporation within the modern urban context as industrial heritage museums or socio-cultural facilities. The findings offer a reflection on approaching similar case studies as a tool for their conservation, management and promotion to create new tourist destinations as a form of sustainable urban regeneration.Originality/valueThis research bridges the gap between practice and theory in terms of adaptive reuse strategies within the Jordanian local context. No similar studies have been done on wheat milling structures from the 20th century in the country with local community engagement as an integral part that is carried out within the functionality and future use of the site.

Anticorrosion Performance

The effects of preparation conditions on the synthesis of polyaniline and its anticorrosion performance were investigated using single-factor method. The experimental results showed that the better conditions for electrochemical synthesis of polyaniline films are 0.5 M aniline, 0.8 M H2SO4, range of sweep voltage 1.6 V~-0.3V (Init =-0.3V), sensitivity 1.e-002, sweep segment 8, scan rate 0.1V/s. The anticorrosion performances of polyaniline films were investigated in 5% and 2.5% MgCl2 solutions respectively. Polarization and AC impedance technique tests proved that the polyaniline film owned a better anticorrosion performance to X70 in 2.5% MgCl2 solution than the denser one. And, it was found that polyaniline films adhered to X70 steel exhibited good barrier properties for a prolonged corrosion process. The above results provided some experimental data and theoretical guidance of polyaniline anticorrosion properties for some metals, especially for metals using in oil and natural gas industry.

The oil and natural gas industry plays an important role in the Indonesian economy, as a source of revenue for the state budget and a source of energy (particularly fuel) to power various sectors of life throughout Indonesia. Lockdown and restrictions on human movement have led to a direct reduction in demand for fuel. In addition to a decline in consumption, Covid-19 also resulted in a decrease in the price and production of oil and gas energy, including the cessation of upstream activities and the reduction of refining activities (refinery). The recommendations put forward include the establishment of strategic petroleum reserves, reviewing oil refinery projects and green fuel, and not reducing the selling price of fuel.
