A new design of a cost effective membrane desalination plant powered by a wind turbine
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Wind is a plentiful source of energy. Wind turbines used to generate electricity come in a variety of sizes. Large wind turbines, which are usually installed in clusters are called wind farms, and can generate large amounts ... -
An investigation of permeability and porosity evolution of Kansas chalk under in-situ conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Injections of brine into the chalk can leads to compaction. The chemical impacts of water injection on the mechanical strength of chalk have been investigating for several years. Also, porosity and permeability evolution ... -
Biodiesel by acid-catalyzed transesterification with butanol
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2012-07-11)Jatropha oil and Rapeseed oil was transesterified with n-butanol by the use of H2SO4. Before conducting the experiments a review of the effect of alcohol type was preformed. Alcohols from methanol to butanol, branched and ... -
Effect studies of different oil and dispersant exposures on keystone pelagic zooplankton species in arctic environments
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Expanding petroleum activities into northern marine areas have resulted in need for tools that specify Arctic specific characteristics when assessing environmental risks for these regions. In order to estimate the environmental ... -
Establishment of new equipment for testing low dosage hydrate inhibitors
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Gas hydrate formation posses a notorious concern for the oil and gas industry, and it only gets bigger because of that the never-ending pursuit of oil and gas compels the industry into deeper and colder waters. Here gas ... -
Performance of sequencing batch reactors for nutrient removal using salsnes filter fine mesh sieves as a primary treatment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)This study investigated the performance of sequencing batch reactors (SBR) for nitrification and denitrification. Bench scale Salsnes Filter (SF) was used as a primary treatment to provide wastewater with different organic ... -
Search for new technologies that can give environmental benefits to the oil industry, subsea waterflooding
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)The goal of the oil producing companies are to extract hydrocarbon from the reservoir and make it available to customers. From an environmental perspective, it should be achieved with zero accidents, no harm to people, no ... -
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 ... -
The effect of the dispersant Corexit 9500 on the biodegradation of North Sea crude oil at low temperatures
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Constituents from crude oil and petroleum are major sources of marine pollution and despite the natural presence of crude oil hydrocarbons in the marine environment; anthropogenic activity is ...
