The mechanical properties of materials are affected in the presence of hydrogen and may cause degradation in for of so-called hydrogen embrittlement. In areas like hydrogen storage and transport, it is therefore important to contain the harmful influence of atomic hydrogen entering the materials. For...
...components and systems linked to the use of liquefied natural gas. LNG is currently used extensively as a long-distance transport means for natural gas. Natural gas is commonly used to replace higher-carbon content fossil fuels (such as coal), in electricity generation, for domestic heating and cooking...
Transport is crucial to the society. Freight transport provides citizens and businesses with the goods, and free mobility for persons is a human right in most countries. However, transport has significant negative effects like pollution, causalities, space consumption, reduction in urban life quality...
Hydrate and wax formation in subsea transport flowlines will cause undesired fluid properties and even blocking of the wellstream, following shutdown and comprehensive repairs. Direct electrical heating (DEH) is developed at SINTEF Energy Research and qualified as a method for avoiding hydrates and wax,...
