Alumina supported cobalt catalysts for Fischer-Topsch synthesis
(Master thesis, 2012)Co supported on high surface area oxides such as alumina, silica and titania are the main catalysts for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It has been shown that the catalytic performance of these catalysts depends on the ... -
Catalytic conversion of oxygenates to fuels
(Master thesis, 2015)A catalytic study of copper coated on silica CuSiO2, titanium dioxide, TiO2 with and without carbon nanotubes, CNT, as support material and zeolite, HZSM 5, has been performed for conversion of n-propanol into C9+ alkanes ... -
Catalytic partial oxidation of methane at moderate temperatures
(Master thesis, 2013)Catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) is considered to be a promising route to produce synthesis gas from methane. In this work cobalt supported on CeO2−Al2O3 nanocomposites calcined at temperatures ranging from 1173 K to 1473 ... -
Control Structure Design for Two Distillation Columns in Sequence
(Master thesis, 2014)Even for simple distillation systems with only two columns, the control problem can be significant. This project provides an initial outline of a systematic procedure for finding the optimal control structure, through ... -
Crystal Growth Kinetics of Calcium Carbonate Particles in Natural Gas Production
(Master thesis, 2012)Precipitation of calcium carbonate particles is an interesting area in natural gas production. The inorganic salt could be formed due to pH stabilization for corrosion control in the pipelines and during the regeneration ... -
Crystallization behavior of an X-Ray Contrast Agent Intermediate at high Supersaturations and Temperatures
(Master thesis, 2016)This project comprises studies of crystallization of an aromatic amine, which is an intermediate in the production of the X-ray contrast agent Iohexol at GE Healthcare Lindesnes Site. Crystallizations from highly supersaturated ... -
Dehydration and Compression of Contaminated CO2-rich Gas
(Master thesis, 2011)The use and demand of energy by exploiting fossil fuels is increasing. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) may be the solution to achieve decreased emissions, from various emitters of climate gases such as carbon dioxide. By ... -
Dehydrogenation of propane by carbon supported metal catalysts
(Master thesis, 2013)In this thesis, the catalytic properties of carbon supported Pt catalysts were investigated for the dehydrogenation of propane. Using a polyol process, Pt/Carbon catalysts active for propane dehydrogenation were successfully ... -
Design configurations of the methanol synthesis loop
(Master thesis, 2011)In recent years the chemical industry has undergone considerable changes due to increased environmental regulations and energy costs. This master thesis has evaluated three different design considerations of the methanol ... -
Destabilization of crude oil emulsions by combining chemicals and electric fields
(Master thesis, 2015)In today s oil industry the increasing scarcity of the conventional oil is inevitable and pushes the oil companies towards the exploitation of unconventional oils such as oil- sands, heavy oil and extra heavy oil. During ... -
Direct Nonoxidative Conversion of Methane to C2 Hydrocarbons, Aromatics and Hydrogen
(Master thesis, 2016)Natural gas contains a large quantity of methane that is valuable as a fuel source. However, it can also be converted to light olefins, but the present synthesis route includes the conversion into synthesis gas. This is ... -
Effect of Mechanical Recycling on the Hydrolytic Degradation of PLA used in Food Packaging
(Master thesis, 2016)The demand for plastic continues to increase, and the search for sustainable solutions has become crucial for the large demand the world is facing today. The biopolymer polylactic acid (PLA) has generated special interest, ... -
Energy Utilization in EDC Cracking
(Master thesis, 2011)The exergy losses in the thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) have been investigated for the EDC cracker in INEOS' vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plant at Rafnes in Norway. This process section is the most energy ... -
Feasibility study and modelling of multistage amine reclaimer
(Master thesis, 2013)One of the largest expenses in CO2 capture is the transport and disposal of waste from the amine reclaimer, and top up of fresh amine~\citep{KIP}. The main reason for this is because the waste stream contains quite large ... -
Finding Self-optimizing Control Variables Using Process Data
(Master thesis, 2014)In this project we have studied a newly developed way to find self-optimizing variables. The method studied in this thesis uses data measurements, y, to fit a quadratic cost function. By using parameters found in the cost ... -
Flow Improvers for Heavy Crude Oil Transport in Pipe
(Master thesis, 2014)The transportation of heavy oil is challenging as the oil has high viscosity and heavy components like asphaltenes. By finding an effective flow improver the transporting could be less demanding and more cost effective. ... -
Fotokatalyse - Fotokatalytisk Hydrogen Produksjon Gjennom Foto-reforming av Hydrokarboner
