We have extensive experience with the design of integrated production systems including production resources, transport equipment, palletising stations and automated storage. In addition, we...
The department of production technology delivers expertise within sensor-based robotics and flexible automation. These are important enabling technologies in order to be able to increase the...
We have extensive experience in characterization of materials at the micron, nanometer and atomic scale using microscopy,diffraction and spectroscopic methods. We are specialized in tensile...
Making buildings more energy efficient is an important tool when working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We need to build more energy-efficient buildings, but the building stock is replaced...
An interdisciplinary approach is vital when planning for good building acoustics. SINTEF can help with all relevant sound and vibration aspects in building projects. We study and develop...
Architecture and aesthetics are fundamental premises for quality of life. Qualities such as building volume and height, preservation of terrain and vegetation as well as choice of materials, are...
Building materials and constructions need a long service life in partly harsh conditions. If a product or component has reduced durability, it can have serious consequences such as air or water...
This group’s expertise is concentrated on hydrodynamic loads on floating structures, and focuses on mooring systems, dynamic positioning (DP) and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). We analyse wave...
Integral system analysis is a robust tool for evaluating the feasibility of technologies and their integration in value-chains under industrial environments. Integral system analysis can be...
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...
Nanotechnology has a potential for applications within a wide range of EOR related techniques. It may be used for enabling new or improving existing EOR methods. Solutions of nano sized particles...
Modelling and simulation of the physical phenomena involved during flow in porous media is essential for the understanding of reservoir processes. A number of methods and tools are used for this...
We have extensive experience in developing detailed heat exchanger models for various industrial purposes. The models have a level of detail that is suitable for linking and use with various...
Our main research area is the development and application of mathematical models for both reservoir scale processes and intra-basinal processes on geological time scales. Expertise CO2 Storage...
Barriers are planned measures to regain control, prevent defined situations of hazards and accidents to develop, or limit consequences of unwanted situations. Barrier management consists of the...
SINTEF has extensive and versatile competence in development of heat pump technology. Through close cooperation with NTNU, engineer and researcher education is integrated in our larger, long term...
A constant equilibrium between power generation and consumption is needed to balance any electric system. Without an equilibrium the result will be frequency deviations and possibly system...
The conversion of electric power by means of power electronics (converters) is playing an increasingly important role in various parts of the power system. Examples include the integration of...
We investigate and develop ways of creating more efficient and reliable cooling systems using nanofluids and magnetic nanofluids (ferrofluids). These can be used for instance for cooling of power...
An old saying states that fools never learn, the smart ones learn from his own mistakes, while the wise learn from others' mistakes. The purpose of investigating accidents and near misses is not...
