• Hydrogen leaks in partially confined spaces - dispersion and explosions 

      Sommersel, Ole Kristian (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;31, Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-12)
      In Porsgrunn, Norway, there was an explosion in an ammonia plant in July 1985. The accident was caused by a hydrogen leak inside a factory building, called N1. The result was a severe hydrogen-air explosion and jet fire, ...
    • Low temperature methanol synthesis catalysed by a copper nanoparticle-alkoxide system 

      Ahoba-Sam, Christian (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;6, Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-28)
      Methanol (MeOH) synthesis at low temperature in a liquid medium presents the possibility of achieving full syngas conversion per pass. The Low temperature MeOH synthesis (LTMS) process is advantageous over the current ...
    • One-step Conversion of Ethylene to Propylene by a NiSO₄-ReO x/γ-A1₂O₃ Catalyst 

      Li, Lu (Doctoral dissertations at the University College of Southeast Norway;4, Doctoral thesis, 2016-06-22)
      The demand for propylene has dramatically increased due to the discovery of propylene’s derivatives (e.g. polypropylene). The propylene production from the conventional processes (steam cracking process and a refinery fluid ...
    • Optimization of flow behavior in biomass gasification reactor 

      Thapa, Rajan Kumar (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2015:2, Doctoral thesis, 2015)
      Dual fluidized bed reactor for steam gasification of biomass is a promising technology and can be used in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production. The producer gas from the reactor can have a calorific value up to 14 ...
    • Pneumatic conveying and storage of wet particles to illustrate offshore drill cutting handling 

      Malagalage, Anjana (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;7, Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-29)
      In this thesis, the pneumatic conveying and storage characteristics of particles mixed with a drilling fluid are studied based on the pilot scale experiments. The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of ...
    • Syngas Fermentation and Microbial Electrosynthesis Process Integration to Advance Biogas Production 

      Sivalingam, Vasan (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;131, Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-09)
      Norway is implementing several CO2 emissions control measures to become a low-emission society by 2050. As a part of this great vision, it strives to be the first nation to end the sales of fossil-fuelled vehicles by 2025. ...
