Sequencing batch moving bed biofilm reactors have been widely used in commercial wastewater treatment facilities for organic carbon and nitrogen removal. However, these reactors can remove low phosphorus (P) levels. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of SB-MBBRs for maximizing...
Background: Dental caries diagnosis requires the manual inspection of diagnostic bitewing images of the patient, followed by a visual inspection and probing of the identified dental pieces with potential lesions. Yet the use of artificial intelligence, and in particular deep-learning, has the...
Social surveys are conducted to determine how annoyed people are in a certain noise situation. The results are typically presented as exposure–response curves showing the percentage of the area population that are highly annoyed as a function of the noise exposure level. It is a well-known fact that...
Amine-based chemical absorption stands out as the leading technology for post-combustion CO2-capture. A blend of 3 M 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and 1.5 M piperazine (PZ), also known as CESAR1, has proven to outperform the current benchmark ethanolamine (MEA), exhibiting better energy...
This case study aims to illustrate challenges and possible measures in a future Norwegian distribution grid in 2030-40. Based on official goals by the Norwegian government and the EU to decarbonize transport and increase the amount of distributed renewable energy production, we consider a future...
This report investigates the integration of Local Energy Communities (LECs) into electricity distribution networks, with a focus on enhancing grid flexibility, optimizing resource use, and supporting the transition to renewable energy and increased electrification of demand. The report provides...
The International Maritime Organization has adopted a strategy aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, prompting various mitigation technologies to comply with this strengthened strategy. Carbon capture technologies are increasingly being considered to satisfy the...
Rapporten besvarer et oppdrag SINTEF har hatt for Unio, med mål om å få mer kunnskap om hva som er status og utfordringer for partssamarbeid og medbestemmelse på tvers av forbundene i Unio. Foruten å presentere og diskutere funn fra en intervjuundersøkelse med tillitsvalgte på flere nivå i fem av...
Secondary recovery methods, such as water and gas injection, are effective and cost-efficient techniques for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery; however, they are highly energy-intensive, leading to a large environmental footprint. This study provides insights into the challenge of balancing high...
This study, performed during the ORCHYD European project, devoted to drilling deep geothermal boreholes, has many potential applications to mechanical studies. It gathers geological descriptions of three outcropping granites from Scandinavia (Kuru Grey and Red Bohus) and from the South of France...
Zirconium nitride (ZrN) has proved to be a promising new catalyst material. Bearing in mind its recyclability at end-of-life, the objective of this work was to demonstrate recovery of Zr in an electrochemical process using a consumable ZrN anode. A mechanically stable ZrN anode was made from...
