The Norwegian part of ECCSEL’s infrastructure focuses on the areas of absorption technology, materials technology, combustion technology, cryogenic processes, measurement techniques, transport, fluid properties and storage. These facilities are distributed across laboratories at SINTEF, NTNU, IFE, NORSAR and TCM. SINTEF Energy has developed and continues to build expertise and laboratory facilities specifically within cryogenic processes, combustion technology, fluid properties, transport, storage and measurement techniques.

The laboratories are available for national and international projects, as well as guest researchers from the EU/EEA area, and include:

  • High Pressure Oxy-fuel Combustion Facility (HIPROX)

  • CO₂ Phase Equilibrium Facility (CO₂MIX)

  • Depressurization Facility (DEPRESS)

  • Flow Assurance for Safety Systems Facility (FASafe)

  • Cold CO₂ Capture Pilot Rig (CCCP/SEPPIL)

  • Demonstration of Flow Assurance for CO₂ Transport Facility (DeFACTO)

  • Facility for High Pressure of Complex Phase Equilibrium Measurements (HPC-PE)

  • Viscosity and Density Apparatus (VISC-DENS)

  • Facility for High Accuracy Flow Metering (FMet)
