Boronic and Organic Acids as Synergists for a Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12)A range of boronic acids have been investigated as synergists for the kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) polymer, poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCap, Mw ≈ 10,000 g/mol) using high pressure rocking cells, a natural gas mixture, ... -
Bridge workers in uitzendwerk : wat kunnen HRM en sociale steun betekenen voor uitzendkrachten van 65-plus?
(Journal article, 2019-09)Dit artikel beschrijft een longitudinale studie naar de relaties tussen de bevlogenheid, inzetbaarheid en ervaren gezondheid van uitzendkrachten van 65 jaar en ouder (de zogenaamde bridge workers in uitzendwerk), aanwezigheid ... -
The burden of emerging contaminants upon an Atlantic Ocean marine protected reserve adjacent to Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The presence and levels of fifteen chemicals of emerging concerns, including five perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), two industrial chemicals, seven pharmaceuticals and one personal care product, were evaluated in biota, ... -
Burst pressure design of the cargo tank used in a novel large subsea freight-glider
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper presents the burst pressure design of the cargo tank used in the University of Stavanger (UiS) Subsea Freight-Glider (USFG). The USFG is an innovative large underwater cargo glider drone that is 50 m long and ... -
Can gut microbial community changes in Atlantic cod be used as biomarker of water pollution?
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The gut microbiome of juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was studied to evaluate changes related to the exposure of dispersed crude oil and find potential biomarker of exposures. Fish was exposed to dispersed crude oil ... -
Capturing CO2 from Biogas Plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)As a renewable energy, biogas produced from anaerobic digestion and landfill is playing a more and more important role in the energy market. Capturing CO2 from biogas can result in a negative CO2 emission. Depending on how ... -
Carbon capture: Characterization of CO2 adsorption by Metal-organic frameworks and Zeolite
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)This work aims to synthesize and characterize the Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): MIP-202, MOF-801, and a cerium-based version of the MIP-202, and evaluate their potential for use in carbon capturing by the use of adsorption. ... -
Carbon footprint assessment of the Vega subsea field – a preliminary study for the environmental footprint
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)Subsea tie-in fields on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) appear to have extremely low greenhouse gas intensity based on available environmental data, as emissions related to offshore oil and gas processing is reported ... -
Cavity Size Effects on the Adsorption of CO2 on Pillar[n]arene Structures: A Density Functional Theory Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas that contributes to the global warming. Therefore, CO2 adsorption is very urgent in the fight to limit global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. In this report, the interaction ... -
Challenges with Gas Hydrate Formation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many multiphase flow lines are prone to hydrate formation unless prevention methods are put in place. Chemical management of hydrate formation is traditionally done with thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors but in the last 25 ... -
