Critical infrastructure applications do not emerge fully formed, but generally rely on components and services from third-party vendors. This paper presents a brief survey on good practice for security requirements to be put on vendors delivering products and services to power Distribution System...

Exposing cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures in buildings is increasingly popular in modern buildings. However, large timber surfaces, window facades, and different geometries can change the fire dynamics in a compartment. The effect of those parameters, therefore, needs to be studied. Two large...

Escape panels are one of the bycatch reduction devices most used in trawl fisheries but their efficiency rely on fish actively contacting the panel to escape. To investigate if contact behaviour changes at different panel placements, we tested a 300 mm square mesh panel placed in the upper panel of...

This guideline describes a best practise for follow-up of safety instrumented systems (SIS) during operation of a process facility. It covers management of functional safety, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and management of change. Methods for updating failure rates and optimising test...

The effect of phosphorus on a cobalt-based catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) has been investigated. Phosphorus is an impurity present in biomass and, in this work, its deposition on the catalyst during biomass to liquid (BTL) operation, based on gasification and FTS, has been mimicked...

In wells and multiphase flowlines the presence of valves, pumps and other complex geometries will considerable contribute to dispersion of the phases. In combination with the droplet stabilizing effect of natural surfactants contained in the crude oil and other production chemicals, this may lead to...

Long term monitoring, classification, and detailed analysis of radio frequency interference (RFI) events in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) bands can help to inform the operating parameters of GNSS systems such as availability and continuity at a given site, while also giving system...

Bottom trawl fisheries often catch several species simultaneously. However, most studies addressing the catch performance and selectivity of a specific trawl focus on a few commercially important or most vulnerable species requiring management measures. By contrast, the present study considers the...
