Nanostructured titanium dioxide: fate in the aquatic environment and effects on the marine mussel mytilus edulis
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)The rapid development of nanotechnology and the corresponding increase in the use of nanoparticles in commercial products have led to concerns about their health risks and environmental impact. As the aquatic systems act ... -
Anaerobic treatment of glycol contaminated wastewater for methane production
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Glycols are usually used in the offshore gas industry as hydrate inhibitor in gas pipelines laid deep under the sea. Glycols, in its use, are contaminated by dissolved salts from formation water together with scaling and ... -
Negative feedback loops leading to nitrate homeostasis and oscillatory nitrate assimilation in plants and fungi.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Nitrate is an important nutrient for plants and fungi. For plants it has been shown that cytosolic nitrate levels are under homeostatic control. Here we describe two networks that can obtain robust, i.e. perturbation ... -
Biological treatment of industrial wastewater for biogas production
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Anaerobic biodegradation is a method of degradation that converts approximately 90% of the available chemical energy (in the form of organic material), into gas methane. Apart from the economic value of the methane gas ... -
Establishing a new high pressure steel multi-cell rocker rig for kinetic hydrate inhibitor testing
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Low dosage hydrate inhibitors (LDHIs) is a cost-effective alternative to traditional thermodynamic inhibitors (THIs), like methanol and glycols, to prevent the occurrence of natural gas hydrates in gas and oilfield operations. ... -
Identification and expression analysis of peroxisome-targeted defence proteins mediating innate immunity in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Peroxisomes are single-membrane organelles that have oxidative metabolic functions. Peroxisomes carry out major functions such as lipid degradation, photorespiration and glyoxylate cycle. However, new functions have been ... -
Drift og optimalisering av flash separatoren i en glykol reclamation enhet
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2009;, Master thesis, 2011)Monoetylenglykol (MEG) benyttes ofte som inhibitor for å unngå hydrater i subsea gasstransportrør. MEG er en miljøvennlig inhibitor, som kan resirkuleres om regenerering benyttes. Regenerering av MEG involverer to trinn; ... -
Synthesis of biodiesel from triglyceride oil
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)This research work has dealt with kinetics of biodiesel production (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester “FAME”) from triglyceride oils through transesterification. This project is divided into two parts: literature study and a small ... -

Effect of precorrosion by galvanostatic anodic polarization and temperature on the formation rate of iron (ii) carbonate film
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Corrosion on the inside walls of steel pipelines and process equipment is mostly caused by CO2 which can cause property damage on the production and the transport of oil and natural gas. In order to control corrosion of ... -
Aerobic biological treatment of produced water from oil production
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Produced water is the largest waste stream generated from the oil and gas industry. Water of varying quantities is always produced along with oil and has to be separated from the oil. The amount of produced water generated ... -
Evaluation of UV fluorescence for oil in water analysis
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011-06)Slop water is a mixture of various fluids that is generated during drilling and well operations offshore and it can also be water from operations such as pit and rig cleaning and rainwater from drilling area or areas on ... -
