Coal tar pitch, a well-known source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is used as a binder of petroleum coke in prebaked anodes used for electrolysis of aluminum. Anodes are baked up to 1100 °C over a 20-day period, where flue gas containing PAHs and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are...
A new continuous process to obtain CO2 hydrates, which is scalable, without losing its heat removing capacity is presented. Hydrate formation is highly exothermic, and jacketed stirred tank reactors configurations have limitations in heat removal. Experiments to obtain CO2 hydrates (P = 27 bar, T...
The urgent need to reduce the emission of harmful pollutants in maritime transport promoted the development of several alternative propulsion systems based on clean fuels or carbon-neutral energy vectors. However, the alternative solutions under development pose new concerns from the safety...
This case study aims to cover a wide range of relevant aspects related to combined cycle design, mechanical integrity and operational reliability for cogeneration of heat and power in FPSO systems. The methods consist of combined optimization of combined cycle thermodynamic design and geometry...
Avinor har gitt SINTEF i oppdrag å foreta en oppdatert støykartlegging av Lakselv lufthavn, Banak etter Miljøverndepartementets retningslinje T-1442/2016. Beregning av støy er utført med NORTIM 4.5 som tar hensyn til topografien ved beregning av lydutbredelse. Det er gjort beregninger for...
The cybersecurity landscape is particularly challenging for SMEs. On the one hand, they must comply with regulation or face legal sanction. But on the other, they may not have the resource or expertise to ensure regulatory compliance, especially since this is not their core business. At the same...
The joints around heavy terrace doors are considered a weak point in rain-exposed façades, as it is vulnerable to defects in design and construction. The insertion process of heavy sliding doors is a notable challenge. Design recommendations from manufacturers as well as national advisory agencies...
While the emerging market of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly dominated and controlled by the Tech Giants, there is also a growing interest in open-source AI code and models from smaller companies, research organisations and individual users. They often have valuable data that...
This work presents new vapor-liquid data for the pure components 2-dimethylmonoethanolamine (DMMEA) and N-methylethanolamine (MMEA) and for the binary systems of aqueous methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), DMMEA, MMEA, and 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (AEP). New Antoine models are developed for the pure...
Thraustochytrids are marine protists with an excellent ability to produce health-beneficial docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich lipids. Since the demand for DHA sources for food and feed is increasing, a deeper understanding of the potential to enhance the DHA-production in thraustochytrids is important...
Considering the increasing amounts of renewable energy generation and energy storage required to meet ambitious environmental goals, it is clear that the next generation of power grids will be dominated by converter-connected devices. In addition, the increasing share of loads connected via power...
Autonomous and unmanned shipping is revolutionizing the maritime industry by introducing a paradigm shift on how to design the vessels and supporting land-side infrastructure. Currently, there is a lack of formalisms on how to plan for such operations, determining the varying degrees of autonomy and...
The food industry is a major consumer of electrical energy, which is required for cooling, freezing, drying and heating. Due to the production characteristics, high load peaks often occur in food processing. This leads not only to the need of oversizing the required equipment (e.g. compressors...
