The impact of waste heat recovery unit installation on the operation and control of the raw meal department at Norcem Brevik
(Master thesis, 2022)As a step towards net-zero emissions in the future, a CO2 capture facility is under construction at the cement plant Norcem in Brevik. This will reduce emissions by 400 000t/yr. To utilize waste heat from the cement ... -
Minimum ignition energy of hydrogen and hydrogen-carrying fuels
(Master thesis, 2022)Hydrogen is touted to be the fuel of the future leading to low carbon emissions globally. But as this fuel is being popularized all over the world for all the industry sectors, very little is known about the combustion ... -
Development of machine learning model for CO2 capture plants to predict solvent degradation
(Master thesis, 2022)Increasing average temperature of the earth has significantly influenced human’s life that many efforts have been carried out to cut the major sources of rising temperature. Among all, emissions and specifically carbon ... -
Foaming prediction in the post-combustion CO2 capture plants (amine-based) by utilizing machine learning techniques
(Master thesis, 2022)Human activities have increased the emitted greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Among greenhouse gases, the excess of CO2 in the atmosphere has caused severe environmental issues such as global warming and ozone depletion. ... -
Evaluate the fire suppression parameters using FDS
(Master thesis, 2022)It takes money, time, and energy to construct a fire and spray experimental rig. Due to advancement in technological development, it is easy to illustrate the experiment in computer simulation, especially by coding. The ... -
Pyrolysis of biomass
(Master thesis, 2021)Pyrolysis of biomass is considered to be a green technology since it has no impacts or emissions to the environment. Pyrolysis of biomass is the initial stage in the gasification process and is defined as the thermal ... -
Simulation of hydrogen tank refueling
(Master thesis, 2021)Several simulations of hydrogen filling process for a type IV tank were completed using openFOAM Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) open-source code. CFD codes have been proven to be a useful method for estimating temperature ... -
Literature Review and Correlation of Density for Amines Relevant for CO2 Capture Process.

Experimental investigation of artificial snow production in marginal geographic conditions
(Master thesis, 2021)Dette arbeidet hadde som mål å utføre både litteratur og eksperimentell studie av kunstig snøproduksjon i marginale geografiske forhold. Det viktigste bak dannelsen av kunstig snø er vann som eksponeres for kald luft danner ... -
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 ... -
