    • Field Measurement of BC Emissions from Rolvsnes Well Test Flare - An empirical measurement of particulate emitted from a well test flare to generate a BC emission factor. 

      Krause, Daniel Franklin; Leirvik, Frode (SINTEF Ocean rapporter;OC2018 A-087, Research report, 2018-10-30)
      BC (smake particulate) was measured in the emissions from the Rolvsnes well test flare from the 6th - 9th of August 2018. Approximately 90% of the measured particulate matter was in the PM I range (1 micron in diameter and ...

      SINTEF ble kontaktet av NOFO 15.05.2019 angående observert overflateolje av tankskipet "Eagle Bergen" som på det tidspunktet gjennomførte lasting fra lastesystemet ca. 2 km fra Statfjord A plattformen. SINTEF bistod i ...
    • Subsurface oil releases - Verification of dispersant effectiveness under high pressure 

      Brandvik, Per Johan; Davies, Emlyn John; Bradly, Cole; Storey, Chris; Leirvik, Frode (SINTEF reports;A27469, Research report, 2016-01-21)
      The main objective with this project was to study possible pressure dependency of droplet formation in case of a subsea blow out of oil and the effectiveness of subsea dispersant injection (SSDI). The droplet sizes ...
