Aspen Plus simulation of biomass gasification for different types of biomass
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A steady-state Aspen Plus model was developed for biomass gasification in a fluidized bed reactor. A combination of different Aspen Plus unit operations was used to model the gasification process. The model was used to ... -
Aspen Plus Simulation of Biomass Gasification with known Reaction Kinetic
(Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)The energy from biomass can be utilized through the thermochemical conversion processes of pyrolysis and gasification. The Aspen Plus simulation tool is applicable for simulation of the gasification processes. The most ... -
Assessing and prioritizing challenges facing bioenergy supply chain in Norway: a Delphi-AHP method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Norway is leading the share of renewable energy in Europe by almost 75%. However, the share of bioenergy in Norway’s energy supply is insignificant. Bioenergy, the most common type of renewable energy, generates more energy ... -
Assessment of Combustion and Gasification Behavior in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Reactor: A Comparison between Biomass with and without Chemical Additives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)During the storage of biogenic materials for energy utilization, destructions by microbial attacks are inevitable. Besides material degradation, self-ignition of wood chip piles also occurs consistently. Treating the ... -
Assessment of mercury emission at Norcem's cement kiln by use of 203 Hg tracer
(Conference report, 2005)In manufacture of cement clinker, mercury (Hg) is introduced in the cement kiln system via the fuels and as constituents in the raw materials, i.e. limestone, iron ore, etc. The permissible emission of Hg to air is very ... -
Assessment of sulphur emission at Norcem's cement kiln by use of 35S-tracer
(Conference report, 2001)Although sulphur is not a major reacting species in making cement clinker, it is introduced as a pollutant in both the energy carrier (oil, coke, coal, household waste) and in the reactants (chalk, silica). Due to the ... -
Behaviour of biomass particles in a bubbling fluidized bed: A comparison between wood pellets and wood chips
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)For successful operation and design of a bubbling fluidized bed reactor handling a specific biomass, in-depth knowledge about the bed behaviour is paramount. This study compares the behaviour of a bed of sand containing ... -
Bicarbonate for microalgae cultivation: a case study in a chlorophyte, Tetradesmus wisconsinensis isolated from a Norwegian lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Bicarbonate was evaluated as an alternative carbon source for a green microalga, Tetradesmus wisconsinensis, isolated from Lake Norsjø in Norway. Photosynthesis, growth, and lipid production were studied using four inorganic ... -
Bidomain Simulations of Subendocardial Ischemia: The Forward and Inverse Problems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09)We provide an analysis of the bidomain theory in relation to anterior subendocardial ischemia. Using the static bidomain model, this analysis explains why simulations often do not produce ST depression when the ischemia ... -
Biodiesel Production through the Transesterification of Waste Cooking Oil over Typical Heterogeneous Base or Acid Catalysts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)For the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil with an acid value of 1.86 mg KOH/g, five heterogeneous catalysts—Ba(OH)2, CaO, MgO, ZnO, and AlCl3—were employed. To optimize the reaction parameters of each catalyst, ... -
Bioelectrochemical CO2 Reduction to Methane: MES Integration in Biogas Production Processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a widely used technique to treat organic waste and produce biogas. This article presents a practical approach to increase biogas yield of an AD system using a microbial electrosynthesis system ... -
Biofilm in Moving Bed Biofilm Process for Wastewater Treatment
(Chapter, 2019)A brief introduction of the long history of biofilm-based wastewater treatment is given together with basics of biofilm behavior and mechanisms in removal and transformation of pollutants. Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) ... -
Biogas purification using membrane micro-aeration: A mass transfer analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)When sulfur containing organic feedstocks undergo anaerobic digestion, sulfides are formed due to the biological activities of sulfur reducing bacteria. Presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) negatively affects the usage of ... -
