Process simulation of plastic waste to environmental friendly fuel
(Master thesis, 2017)The amount of plastic waste that needs to be taken care of increases every year. While much of it is recycled, a substantial amount cannot be recycled and is landfilled. This master thesis has been focused on an alternative ... -
Diffusion of CO2 through polymer membranes
(Master thesis, 2017)Food industry use polymers as packaging to protect and maintain high quality and freshness of the product during distribution and storage. Polymers are permeable for gases like O2, CO2 and water vapor. Simulation models ... -
CFD Validation of transient subsea gas plume model
(Master thesis, 2017)Subsea gas blowouts are often a significant risk contributor to offshore installations. It is important to understand plume that is created by the blowout. Different plume models were investigated. CFD model in ANSYS Fluent ... -
Near-well simulations and modelling of oil production from reservoir
(Master thesis, 2017)One of the major challenges that the oil industry faces today is water breakthrough and high production of water from mature oil fields. Early water breakthrough can occur due to high frictional pressure drop in the well ... -
Partial CO2 capture simulation and cost estimation
(Master thesis, 2017)Simulation of CO2 absorption using amine solutions have been performed for many years at University College of Southeast Norway, both with and without vapor recompression. In this thesis, partial CO2 capture was evaluated ... -
Tuning of viscosity and density of non-Newtonian fluids through mixing process using multimodal sensors, sensor fusion and models
(Master thesis, 2016)The main work of this thesis was to develop some empirical models that could be used to estimate the viscosity in drilling operations. The reason for this is due to the fact that oil companies spends a lot of money to make ... -
CO₂ dehydration after CO₂ capture
(Master thesis, 2016)The presence of free water is considered as one of the major impurities for the pipeline transportation of gas. Corrosion and hydrate formation in the process plant equipment are common problems associated with the free ... -
Study of CO₂ storage in oil reservoirs and aquifers
(Master thesis, 2017)Carbon dioxide storage in oil reservoirs and aquifers is one of the most promising research fields regarding reduction of climate gas emissions. Changing of CO₂ physical properties with temperature and pressure in deep ... -
Modeling, simulation and control of the inflow basin of a wastewater treatment plant
(Master thesis, 2016)Inflow basin is an important component for wastewater treatment plant, which can equalize the hydraulic and composition variations of wastewater inflow and stabilize the performance of nutrition and toxicants removal and ... -
Utilization of waste heat from cement kiln exhaust gases for regeneration of loaded CO₂ capture media
(Master thesis, 2016)Dette prosjektet var basert på noe som skjer på Norcem Brevik, hvor de er interessert i å bygge et CO2-fangstanlegg. Og så har det seg det at de har veldig varmt eksosutslipp fra sementproduksjonen. Denne varmen er Norcem, ... -
Mass Flow-rate estimation in an open venturi channel using system identification A Study of Mud flow measurements in open venturi channel
(Master thesis, 2016)Drilling operations in oil and gas industry are getting more and more advanced and complicated. One of the main reasons is that the real time monitoring and control of the processes are getting complex in their executions. ... -
Physical solubilities for N₂O (CO₂) in amine solution N₂O
(Master thesis, 2016)CO₂ capture has proven to be the best way to reducing a great amount of CO₂ emissions from industries, and has obtained a great deal of research work. 1-DMA-2P is one of the commercial amine absorbents with a bright future ... -
Model Free Optimal and Predictive Control of the K-Spice Process Simulator
(Master thesis, 2016)Impact of the slugging can significantly decrease oil production and have damage consequences for equipment. Nowadays, Model free optimal and predictive control is actual topic of discussion and could be not-exhaustive ... -
Open Venturi-Channel Flow Metering Of Non- Newtonian Fluids A Case Study with Emulated Drilling Fluids.
(Master thesis, 2016)In the oil and gas industry, controlling the well pressure is a very important aspect of drilling, thus drilling fluids has been the forefront aspect in drilling operation, thereby acting as a barrier against hydrocarbon ... -
Measurement and correlation of data used for CO₂ absorption in different amine solutions at various temperatures
(Master thesis, 2016)In order to design CO₂ absorption-desorption columns, models of experimental data would be needed to calculate many properties of the chemical system. In this research work, the experimental density values of aqueous ... -
Drying of Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF)
