(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The main treatment stage at SNJ Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently upgraded from chemical treatment to mechanical-biological treatment with Enhanced Biological Phosphorous Removal (EBPR). The implementation of EBPR ... -
Investigating the molecular epidemiology of Norwegian blood culture isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae using whole genome sequencing
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rapidly increasing threat to public health, and was in 2019 listed as one of top ten global health threats by the World Health Organization (WHO). The gram-negative ... -
Investigation of Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) Process Performance at SNJ Wastewater Treatment Plant (IVAR)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)This study has investigated the efficiency of phosphorus (P) removal and optimization the function of the Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) at SNJ (Sentralrenseanlegg Nord-Jæren), owned by IVAR (Interkommunalt ... -
Investigation of Lactam- Based Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors and the Synergetic Effect of Solvents
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Gas hydrate formation in flow lines is of notorious concern for the oil and gas industry, and it only gets bigger because of the never-ending pursuit of oil and gas compels the industry into deeper and colder waters. Gas ... -
Investigation of New Classes of Amide and Non-amide Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors
(PhD thesis UiS;538, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)The formation of gas hydrates can cause pipeline blockage during the transportation of gas and oil products, which is one of the main challenges for flow assurance in the petroleum industry. It is uneasy to remove gas ... -
Investigation of struvite crystallization within a fluidized bed reactor at IVAR SNJ Wastewater treatment plant
(Master thesis, 2023)This study investigates the struvite crystallization method for phosphorus recovery from IVAR SNJ wastewater treatment plant. The physicochemical properties of struvite, including its crystallization mechanics and the ... -
Investigation of the Antiscaling Performance of Phosphonated Chitosan for Upstream Petroleum Industry Application
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Scale deposition is one of the main water-based production problems in the upstream oil and gas industry. Few environmentally friendly scale inhibitors show good thermal stability as well as calcium compatibility. We report ... -
Investigation of the enantioselectivity of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase upon inhibition by tacrine-iminosugar heterodimers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09)The copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was applied to prepare three enantiomeric pairs of heterodimers containing a tacrine residue and a 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) or 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol ... -
Investigation of Vinyl Ether Synthesis and Subsequent Application in Organic Synthesis
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The standard method of synthesizing vinyl ethers from the elimination of an alcohol from an acetal was tested against synthesizing them through the elimination of a mesyloxy group. A total of seven different molecules were ... -
Investigation on Phosphorus Recovery from Wastewater Sludge as Struvite at SNJ Wastewater Treatment Plant (IVAR): A Pilot-Scale Study
(Master thesis, 2021)The recovery of phosphorus from wastewater is desirable since it is a limited nutrient and can cause eutrophication in water bodies. This study investigates the potential to recover phosphorus from the sludge generated at ... -
