Researchareas

CO2Capture

The overall goal of our work on CO2 capture is to find innovative solutions to the climate challenge.

This means finding new solutions as well as improving existing ones with regard to optimization of

the CO2 capture process and related environmental challenges. It furthermore comprises collection

and transportation solutions for captured CO2. The research is carried out in close cooperation with

the Tel‐Tek research institute.

Environmentalbiotechnology

The environmental biotechnology research focus is on resource recovery, organic waste and water

treatment, combined with biofilm research. The work includes fundamental research as well as

applied acitivities.

IndustrialFlowProcesses

Different flow systems are studied using experimental measurement techniques and computational

fluid dynamics (CFD). Most of the experimental studies are performed using laser‐based techniques

such as Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA), Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) and Particle Image

Velocimetry (PIV), and other measurement techniques are applied as well.

CombustionandProcessSafety

The focus is on experimental and numerical investigation of pre‐mixed combustion, dispersion,

ignition, explosions and shock waves in various types of processes, equipments and systems.

IndustrialApplicationsofElectromagnetics

Research in this group is dedicated to modern industrial applications of electromagnetism. Basic

approach is based on solving Maxwell’s equations for static, quasi‐static, and dynamic phenomena.

The different applications currently under study are induction heating, quasi‐static analysis of

sensors exploiting electromagnetic phenomena, estimating parameters of complex cable structures.

IndustrialAutomationApplications

Industrial Automation Applications include the use of sensor technology, industrial IT, modeling and

simulation, estimation and monitoring, and control and optimization.

IndustrialAutomationMethods

Industrial Automation Methods include studies in methods within the areas of sensor technology,

industrial IT, modeling and simulation, estimation and monitoring, and control and optimization.

7

PowderScienceandTechnology

Our research and development work includes all aspects of handling, storage, processing, separation,

and characterization of particulate materials. The research is carried out in cooperation with the Tel‐

Tek research institute.

AlternativeFuels

Alternative fuels can be utilized in the industry to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Net

emissions of pollutants such as CO2 and NOx may be reduced, and in many cases the replacement of

coal or other fossil fuels is also economically sound for the industry. Moreover, since many

alternative fuels are based on waste streams, increased use of such waste‐based fuels contributes in

solving a waste problem in the society.

This research project (type KMB) is supported by the Norwegian Research Council and Gassnova

through the CLIMIT research programme, and by industrial and academic partners. The total budget

is MNOK 12. The project is run by Tel‐Tek, but TUC personnel are managing the four work packages

of the project: I) CO2 capture and energy integration (Professor Morten C. Melaaen), II) Chemical

characterisation of amines and degradation products (Professer Klaus‐Joachim Jens), III) Bio‐

degradation of amine waste (Professor Rune Bakke), IV) Amine waste as a NOx reduction agent in

incineration (Associate Professor Lars‐André Tokheim). Two PhD students are educated and 1 post

doc position is part of the project, which involves international cooperation with international

universities (Chalmer’s and Denmark Technical University) and industrial companies.

Waterdelugeresearchforoffshoreapplications(2010‐2014)

Fire and explosions prove to be a serious threat to offshore petroleum activity. As an option to heavy

fire walls, a system of water deluge nozzles could be implemented. To validate the effectiveness and

safety aspect of such systems, large scale CFD simulations are conducted. Accurate water droplet

sizes and velocities are required in these numerical models. Statoil ordered this research from TUC

and Tel‐Tek in the form of a 5 MNOK project lead by Professor Dag Bjerketvedt. PhD student Joachim

Lundberg works on the project. An advanced Copper Vapour Laser has been bought and installed as

part of the research program.

Li‐ionbatteries(2011‐2013)

This project is part of a Miljøbil Grenland A/S development project. The goal is to develop and test

batteries to ensure safe integration of new energy technologies. Professor Dag Bjerketvedt leads the

TUC part of this project.

12

Hydrogensafety ‐InternationalEnergy Agency ‐HydrogenImplementingAgreement ‐Task31(2011‐2013)

This project is a continuation of the previous IEA‐HIA task 19 and concerns the safety aspect of

hydrogen infrastructure. As new energy technology develops there is a need for safe

implementation. TUC is a member of this IEA task, and Associate Professor Knut Vågsæther is the

leader of subtask A2 Ignition and Combustion. The contribution of TUC is mainly towards research on

detonation‐deflagration transition and flame propagation in inhomogeneous gas mixtures. Professor

Dag Bjerketvedt, head of the The Combustion and Process Safety group, and PhD student André

Vagner Gaathaug work on this project.

CO2safety (2011‐2014)

As the CCS technology develops it needs infrastructure and facilities. There are risks associated with

storage and transport of pressurized liquid CO2. If there is a rapid pressure drop or tank/pipeline

failure, the CO2 could rapidly boil and cause an explosion. Safe integration of new technologies is vital

to the public opinion. The Combustion and Process Safety group at TUC has worked on this challenge

for 3 years, providing research results to Statoil. PhD student Sindre Tøsse is currently working on the

topic of rapid boiling of CO2. He is supervised by Associate Professor Knut Vågsæther.

BiogasReactorTechnologyforNorwegianAgriculture–BioNA (2011‐2015)

This research project (type KMB) is supported by the Norwegian Research Council, The Norwegian

Farmers Association (Norsk Bondelag) and Bioplan AS, and involves 8 academic partners in Norway,

Sweden and Denmark. The total budget is MNOK 16. This research is coordinated by Bioforsk

(Bioforsk Jord og miljø). One PhD student employed at NTNU is supervised by TUC professor Rune

Bakke.
