• Accidental release of liquid CO₂ from transport and storage 

      Ibrahim, Osama Kabbashi M. (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;174, Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-09)
      An unintended release of liquid CO2 during transport by tanks or pipelines could result in instantaneous depressurization and rapid phase transition with explosive evaporation. Under certain conditions, it could lead to a ...
    • Biological hydrogen sulfide removal with nitrate 

      Sposob, Michal (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;11, Doctoral thesis, 2018-09-28)
      Aim: Hydrogen sulfide is a major occupational hazard in agriculture, industry, and sewage processing; its presence leads to corrosion. Thus, hydrogen sulfide removal is obligatory. These investigations aim to evaluate the ...
    • Carbon Dioxide Capture by Chemical Absorption: Energy Optimization and Analysis of Dynamic Viscosity of Solvents 

      Arachchige, Udara Sampath P. (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;26, Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-11)
      Global warming resulted from the emissions of greenhouse gases; especially carbon dioxide has received widespread attention. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere reaches 400 ppmv and that is a considerably high value ...
    • CO2 capture through electrified calcination in cement clinker production 

      Jacob, Ron M. (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;170, Doctoral thesis, 2023-08-31)
      The cement industry has the second highest share of industrial CO2 emissions, and two-thirds of these emissions come from decomposing its key ingredient by the calcination reaction (CaCO3 → CaO + CO2). This thesis studied ...
    • Modelling and simulations of bubbling fluidized bed and entrained flow biomass gasification reactors 

      Timsina, Ramesh (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;118, Doctoral thesis, 2022-02-24)
      The world needs sustainable energy solutions to replace fossil fuels. Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. New reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA, 2021)1 have developed a roadmap for max ...
    • Modelling of ash melts in gasification of biomass 

      Furuvik, Nora Cecilie Ivarsdatter Skau (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;120, Doctoral thesis, 2022-03-04)
      The need for advanced biofuels produced from sustainable sources is stressed, both on national and international level due to a global agreement to limit the Earth’s global warming. The major goals in the Norwegian agreement ...
    • On Process Simulation and Learning Technologies 

      Marcano Canelones, Laura Andreína (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;45, Doctoral thesis, 2019-10-16)
      This thesis provides additional insights into the field of simulator training. Al-though numerous studies have identified how to improve simulator technologies and team training practices, little analytic attention has ...
    • Real-time Optimization and Control for Oil Production under Uncertainty 

      Janatian, Nima (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;179, Doctoral thesis, 2024-02-02)
      The practical use of model-based optimization depends significantly on the accuracy of the model in use. This is because the presence of uncertainty can introduce a mismatch between the model and the real plant, which may ...
