All of our Lean-consultants have extensive practical experience in line management and management of Lean processes in various Norwegian and international...
Plug and abandonment (P&A) is the final stage of a well's lifetime, and the objective of P&A operations is to seal the well for eternity. Long-term integrity of plugging materials is a central topic. P&A is an important focus area for SINTEF, with a special emphasis on long-term integrity of well barrier...
Hydrogen is an important chemical in industrial processes and also an energy vector. Hydrogen is getting more attention to produce energy and also as fuel without net mobile emissions of CO2. bilde1 Most of the chemical hydrogen is produced by steam-methane reforming. The state-of-the-art technology...
ICT solutions for smart cities are large and long-lived systems-of-systems. These are complex solutions with many actors and many heterogeneous systems involved. The systems involved must adapt both to different situations and to a holistic solution that will emerge over time. To cope with these challenges...
... texture, colour, gloss and transparency. The perceived appearance of an object does not only relate to physical measurable parameters, but also involves the physiological response of the human visual system, as well as the psychological aspects of human learning, culture and tradition. The various human...
...can be used both to perform economic analyses and to guide your decisions on investment and rehabilitation in relation to production capacity and reservoir size. The models can also analyse pump operation, both for seasonal and intra-week/24-hour pumping, and can be used to provide the correct notification...
Conservation and balance laws solutions often have discontinuities. High-resolution methods avoid oscillations or excessive smoothing seen in classical schemes with nonlinear strategies that combine first-order stencils near discontinuities with higher-order stencils elsewhere for accurate results. We...
...family of standards operating in the 5091-5150 MHz MLS extension band. This standard, and in particular IEEE 802.16e (WIMAX) supporting mobility, is a technically advanced standard incorporating a wide range of features and options for setting key parameters....
...acoustics and ultrasound! The Acoustics group work closely together with industry and academia to solve the most challenging problems through research and development - using acoustic and ultrasound methods. Applications range from underwater acoustics, health monitoring, to non-destructive testing and integrity...
...methods will be inconsistent and can introduce significant numerical errors. Grid-orientation errors resulting from inconsistent discretizations are particularly pronounced in simulating flow in porous media, where the conductivity tensor K usually is strongly anisotropic and complex polytopal grids are...
...the requirements of the Common Safety Method regulation, (EU) 402/2013 and (EU) 2015/1136, and its results. The assessment results are documented in an independent safety assessment report containing recommendations, findings and conclusions. Assessment of the risk management process is required when...
A Digital Twin (DT) is defined as a virtual representation of a physical asset enabled through data and simulators for real-time prediction, optimization, monitoring, controlling, and improved decision making. A digital twin may be characterized by the following three keywords: Virtual Twin Predictive...
Since 2004, the acoustics groups at NTNU and SINTEF have cooperated as a Gemini Centre called the Acoustics Research Centre. The purpose of this collaboration is building an acoustics community of even greater size and quality than what can be achieved individually. Visit our blog at acousticsresearchcentre...
We have expertise in metal production, processing, properties, design and applications. We work with all types of metals and alloys. We work with metal production from raw materials as well as from recycled materials. Metal processing is used to obtain desired material properties. In addition clever...
Fracturing provides a way to increase recovery of hydrocarbons from tight rocks. SINTEF develops knowledge on fracture initiation and growth in order to make fracking more efficient and to answer the environmental concerns. Our knowledge is also needed to properly design water-injection operations, since they...
...robotic arm is tasked with picking up and moving objects. This might entail generating valid grasps based on sensor inputs, e.g., a depth camera, and finding a valid path for the robot to follow in order to pick up and move the object, while avoiding obstacles and taking other constraints into account...
Society has become increasingly dependent on a stable electricity supply, where the power grid and electrical appliances / equipment functions without disturbing each other. Voltage quality is the part of the power quality concept that concerns the applicability of the voltage in the outlet. Voltage...
...data collected from smartphones, we can obtain motion data of vulnerable road users (e.g. pedestrians and cyclists). Such data can be used to analyse travel behaviour for pedestrians, cyclists, and users of public transport. By associating data from different sources, proactive systems can be developed...
The electrical power system is in a state of transition, and in future decades will be subject to far-reaching changes. New sources of production and patterns of consumption will result in power flow becoming more complex and dynamic, while the electrification of society at the same time places major...
... In addition, SINTEF has expertise in the characterization of porous materials. Preparation and characterization of porous materials bilde1 Porous materials such as zeolites, metal-organic framework (MOF) and silica (MCM-41, SBA-15, etc.) are prepared either in the autoclave under hydrothermal conditions...
