About

About the course

Course content

The specialization course consists of 2 subjects of 3,75 study points each. The subjects will give an introduction in industrial processes of importance for the Norwegian petroleum, process, and onshore industry. The topics in this course will connect our research activity with activities of importance for the process industry (energy utilisation, process integration), oil/gas (LNG, gas processing, multi phase transport, and gas hydrates), fishery and aquaculture (refrigeration and heat pump systems), food industry (processing, drying, heat pumping and refrigeration systems) and refrigeration industry (environmentally friendly heat pumps end refrigeration systems). The interaction between modelling, simulation and laboratory activity will be emphasized (laboratories of dewatering, refrigeration, food engineering and multi phase flow). The project and the following master thesis will be adapted individually for each student within a wide range of activity such as: laboratory work, concept study, modelling, programming, simulation etc. Internationalisation will be emphasized together with cooperation with SINTEF and Norwegian industry. The following courses are offered:
- Gas processing and LNG;
- Refrigeration systems and components;
- Heat pumping technologies in the food industry;
- Dewatering and Drying Engineering;
- Multi phase flow;
- Industrial heat engineering;
- Environmental system analysis (LCA);

Learning outcome

Discussions and solving scientific and technical problems as well as formal reporting on achieved results within analysis, design and operation of industrial processes and systems.

Learning methods and activities

The different courses will be lectures supplied with study groups, mini seminars and laboratory work. Marks will be determined based on the course oral exam. The guidance and advice are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. Postponed exam is held within the end of the exam period.
