...utilization of available industrial surplus heat and a reformation of the efficiency in various industry processes. HighEFFLab will provide the advanced research facilities required to fulfil the goals of FME HighEFF: Enable 20-30 % reduction in specific energy use and 10 % reduction in climate gas emissions...
...well as a research lab for flue gas pre-treatment analysis and emission research. In the spring of 2010, a 30-meter-high indoor CO2 absorber/desorber pilot rig was commissioned at Tiller. The pilot plant consists of a complete absorption and desorption plant with a CO2 capacity of 50 kg CO2/h. It is...
...dedicated to optical measurement techniques and flow visualization. The tank's measurement section is completely transparent and can be operated either with a free surface or the lid closed. Laser-based techniques like PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) and LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry) allow non-intrusive...

The biggest and most spectacular lab is the new high-voltage laboratory, which is designed to carry out testing...
SINTEF offers development and testing of indoor climate and ventilation products. We can combine several tests for a product. For example, a supply air valve can be tested for scattering patterns, throw lengths (drafts), and generated sound. Laboratory for full-scale testing of ventilation systems The...
...combustion CO2 capture technologies. Solvent degradation may lead to a significant loss of solvent performance (solvent losses, corrosion problems etc.) and also lead to a negative environmental impact (emissions to air, production of special waste). Solvent studies is essential in the work with developing...
For investigating liquid loads in tanks and on custom geometries, SINTEF has developed a sloshing laboratory with two motion platforms and a drop rig for deterministic water impacts. The motion platforms are custom made for exciting scaled vessel motions. Contact information: Chittiappa Muthanna ...
