Centre gathers researchers and laboratories from several parts of SINTEF into a single centre under joint management. The centre employs about 40 people, all with high levels of expertise in a number of research disciplines. The laboratories, including the world’s largest and most advanced multiphase...
...herring and mackerel from purse seine. The result is a purse seiner that sucks herring and mackerel on board gently. Today this is usually done by means of bucket pumps that suck and press the fish on board through a hose. The fish goes into a sieve box where the pump water and fish are separated and the...
Photo: Thinkstock. Notes The project is called PLATIRUS and its aim is to help reduce the European shortage of valuable noble metals, also known as PGMs. PGM is an abbreviation for the Platinum Group Metals, which include iridium, platinum and palladium. Currently, these metals are vital components in...
