Reducing the CO2 emissions of a gas cracker by reforming fuel gas
(Master thesis, 2021)With the rising need for CO2 reduction and the pressing two-degree target there is no doubt that measures must be made in the chemical process industry. Ethylene production by steam cracking is a mature and widespread ... -
Simulation and cost estimation of CO2 capture processes using different solvents/blends
(Master thesis, 2021)There has been a growing trend toward removing CO2 emissions from the industry with different methods. One of the most mature methods for carbon capture is to absorb CO2 in an amine-based (MEA) post-combustion ... -
Hydrodynamics - calculation of added mass on complex objects
(Master thesis, 2021)Added mass er et komplekst fenomen innen hydrodynamikk, hvor det finnes lite forståelse i industrien. Dermed var motivasjonen for dette arbeidet å bygge kunnskap innen hydrodynamikk og numerisk modellering av hydrodynamiske ... -
Improved Oil Recovery through Advanced Control
(Master thesis, 2021)Norway is one of the major suppliers of oil and gas to the world market. Revenues from sales of oil and gas have played an important role in building modern Norwegian society. Oil and gas are trapped in the subsurface ... -
Process evaluation of novel CO2 capture processes for subsea application
(Master thesis, 2021)With a subsea module for sweetening of natural gas, it is possible to extract natural gas from places with a too high concentration of CO2 is too remote or both. The separated gas containing a high amount of CO2 needs ... -
Investigation of the performance of a pilotscale CO2 desorption column using CFD simulations
(Master thesis, 2021)Technology Center Mongstad (TCM) is the world’s largest and most flexible test facility for amine based CO2 absorption and desorption. This master thesis is based on an operational problem at TCM where excess liquid loading ... -
Electrochemical Sulphide Oxidation - An Experimental Study
(Master thesis, 2021)Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a problem that occurs everywhere in the industries. This has hazardous properties like high corrosive, hazardous when inhaling and high flammability. The gas is either produced naturally or as a ... -
Utilization of oxygen as partial replacement for air in cement kiln combustion processes
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis is started with introduction, continued with model building and its simulation results, then ended with economic analysis. The idea of this study is to reduce the nitrogen content of the atmospheric air which ... -
CFD-Simulations of inhomogeneous H2-air explosions
(Master thesis, 2021)Since demands for energy resources increase globally in recent years due to growth of application consumption, finding alternative resources for traditional fossil fuels raises. These current fuels are diminishing continuously ... -
Sensitivity analysis of oil production models to reservoir rock and fluid properties
(Master thesis, 2021)In this fast-growing world, the demands for energy supply are growing rapidly as well. The oil has become one of the basic needs of human beings in this era. Hence, to meet the supply of the growing world, the available ... -
Closing the plastic waste material cycle in the power industry
(Master thesis, 2021)Cables and wires are widely used in electronic equipment and power industry for transmission of both data and electricity, where the rapid development of power lines and constant update of electronic devices have resulted ... -
This report forms part of the basis for assessing the student’s performance in the course
(Master thesis, 2020)The reject water of any wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) contains carbon dioxide (CO2) and micro-organisms. The environmental biotechnology research group of the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) is trying to ... -
Assessment of CFD methods in predicting flow regime and pressure gradient in two phase gas-liquid vertical flow
(Master thesis, 2020)Available tools for dealing with multi-phase flows are not effective with complex geometries such as process piping with combination of horizontal and vertical pipes, bends and valves. However, rapid development of ... -
Computational modeling of fluidized bed behavior with agglomerates.
(Master thesis, 2020)The transition towards the use of more renewable energy is an essential subject for the imminent climate crisis. Biomass can be converted into syngas in a gasification process. The formation of agglomerates in a Bubbling ... -
