Techno-Economic Assessment of Different Heat Exchangers for CO2 Capture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We examined the cost implications of selecting six different types of heat exchangers as the lean/rich heat exchanger in an amine-based CO2 capture process. The difference in total capital cost between different capture ... -
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 ... -
Thermophilic methane production from hydrothermally pretreated norway spruce (Picea abies)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Norway spruce (Picea abies) is an industrially important softwood species available in northern Europe and can be used to produce bio-methane after proper pretreatment to overcome its recalcitrant complex structure. Hot ... -
Er elbilen et bærekraftig alternativ til fossilbilen?
(Report, 2021)De globale klimagassutslippene må reduseres til nær null i løpet av de nærmeste tre tiårene om vi skal unngå dramatiske endringer av klimaet. Transportsektoren, herunder personbilen, står for en betydelig del av ... -
Effect of Intermittent Aeration in a Hybrid Vertical Anaerobic Biofilm Reactor (HyVAB) for Reject Water Treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Water from anaerobic sludge dewatering (reject water that is recycled to the inlet main process treatment) from the Knarrdalstrand municipal wastewater treatment plant in Porsgrunn, Norway, contains 2.4 g/L of total chemical ... -
Process Integration of Green Hydrogen: Decarbonization of Chemical Industries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Integrated water electrolysis is a core principle of new process configurations for decarbonized heavy industries. Water electrolysis generates H2 and O2 and involves an exchange of thermal energy. In this manuscript, we ... -
Carbon dioxide solubility in mixtures of methyldiethanolamine with monoethylene glycol, monoethylene glycol–water, water and triethylene glycol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Carbon dioxide solubility in non-aqueous and aqueous mixtures of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) with monoethylene glycol (MEG) was studied due to the relevance of these solvents for the combined acid gas removal and hydrate ... -
Human behaviour modelling for welfare technology using hidden Markov models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Human behaviour modelling for welfare technology is the task of recognizing a person's behaviour patterns in order to construct a safe environment for that person. It is useful in building environments for older adults or ... -
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 ... -
Influences of temperature and substrate particle content on granular sludge bed anaerobic digestion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Influences of temperature (25–35 °C) and substrate particulate content (3.0–9.4 g total suspended solids (TSS)/L) on granular sludge bed anaerobic digestion (AD) were analyzed in lab-scale reactors using manure as a substrate ... -
Effect of Particulate Disintegration on Biomethane Potential of Particle-Rich Substrates in Batch Anaerobic Reactor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)An investigation of particle disintegration was carried out using batch anaerobic reactors and a particle-rich substrate from pig manure supernatant. Two types of samples were applied, one high in suspended particles (raw ... -
Treatment of Metformin-Containing Wastewater by a Hybrid Vertical Anaerobic Biofilm-Reactor (HyVAB)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Several series of batch and continuous experiments were performed to investigate the removal of metformin and other contaminants from two wastewaters: wastewater I (WWI) containing 4 mg/L metformin and wastewater II (WWII) ... -
Performance analysis of biocathode in bioelectrochemical CO2 reduction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) biogas upgrading is done via reduction of carbon dioxide to methane through electroactive microbial catalysis. The baseline MES mode of operation showed about a 39% increase in the methane ... -
Granular sludge bed processes in anaerobic digestion of particle-rich substrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Granular sludge bed (GSB) anaerobic digestion (AD) is a well-established method for efficient wastewater treatment, limited, however, by the wastewater particle content. This review is carried out to investigate how and ... -
