Stability of Structurally Varied Aqueous Amines for CO2 Capture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Eighteen structurally varied amines were subjected to harsh oxidative conditions, and their stability was assessed and seen in the context of biological and thermal stability. Steric effects play a large role in the ... -
Screening of Inhibition of Calcium Naphthenate Deposition in Crude Oil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)One of the initial steps in calcium naphthenate deposition is the reaction between ARN and Ca2+ leading to the formation of an interfacial gel. After growing, this gel will form calcium naphthenate deposits that are a ... -
Fundamentals and physical principles for drilled cuttings transport – Cuttings bed sedimentation and erosion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The increasing necessity of challenging wellbore structures and drilling optimization for improved hole cuttings cleaning has been growing along time. As a result, operator companies have been researching and applying ... -
Wet Drilled Cuttings Bed Rheology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The cuttings transport efficiency of various drilling fluids has been studied in several approaches. This is an important aspect, since hole cleaning is often a bottleneck in well construction. The studies so far have ... -
UV degradation of natural and synthetic microfibers causes fragmentation and release of polymer degradation products and chemical additives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A high proportion of the total microplastic (MP) load in the marine environment has been identified as microfibers (MFs), with polyester (PET) and polyamide (PA) typically found in the highest abundance. The potential for ... -
Comparing C5Pe and Asphaltenes under Temperature and Pressure Reservoir Conditions Using an Acoustic Wave Sensor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A quartz crystal resonator (QCR) was employed to assess the ability of the C5Pe model asphaltene compound to form nanoaggregates in toluene and bigger flocs that adsorb on the QCR surfaces at a higher concentration of ... -
Optimal scheduling of flexible thermal power plants with lifetime enhancement under uncertainty
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Renewable energy sources have been the focal point to decarbonise the power sector. The large deployment of these intermittent power generation units requires mechanisms to balance the grid. Thermal power plants can provide ... -
Investigations of molybdenum-promoted manganese-based solid sorbents for H2S capture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The promotion effect of Mo-addition to alumina-supported Mn-based sorbents for high-temperature desulphurization was explored. A series of Mn-based sorbents with fixed Mn-loading and different Mo-loadings were prepared by ... -
Assessing the Interfacial Activity of Insoluble Asphaltene Layers: Interfacial Rheology versus Interfacial Tension
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Asphaltenes have been suggested to play an important role in the remarkable stability of some water-in-crude oil emulsions, although the precise mechanisms by which they act are not yet fully understood. Being one of the ... -
Enhanced Visible Light Absorption TiO2 Based Catalysts for Photocatalytic H2 Generation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:90, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Photocatalytic H2 generation from water, by utilizing semiconductors, is attractive process as the energy needed to break two chemical bonds of water and to form a chemical bond between hydrogen atoms is provided by the ... -
