We introduce a simple model for a gravity separator based on first principles. It can be used for controller design to control the levels of oil, water, and the gas pressure as well as observer design to estimate unmeasurable ...

n this paper, we consider the problem of real-time optimization of an oil and gas production network. The production network is often made of several wells from different reservoir sections producing to a common processing ...

Polymer science is the underlying topic of this master's thesis, and the main scope is to develop and deploy models for on-line optimization and control for polymerization reactors. Specifically, free-radical emulsion ...

This paper proposes a new incremental sampling method for the generation of surrogate models based on the application of partial least squares regression (PLSR) as a termination criterion. Compared to existing incremental ...

Animal flight requires fine motor control. However, it is unknown how flying animals rapidly transform noisy sensory information into adequate motor commands. Here we developed a sensorimotor control model that explains ...

Although it principally resembles a refrigerator, production of LNG is a complex and energy demanding process. At Hammerfest LNG the Statoil/Linde developed mixed fluid cascade process liquefy natural gas from gaseous to ...

In offshore production, the two-phase mixture of oil and gas is transported from the seabed oil wells to the surface facilities by pipelines and risers. The two-phase flow can have different flow regimes, where severe ...

Reactive flash (RF) in biodiesel production has been studied in order to investigate steady-state multiplicities, singularities, and effect of biodiesel quality when the RF system approaches to bubble point. The RF was ...
