Industrial Process Engineering, Specialization Project

The topics will be related to the process industry (energy utilisation, process integration), oil/gas (LNG, gas processing, multi phase transport, and gas hydrates), fishery and aquaculture (refrigeration systems), food industry (processing, drying, heat pumping and refrigeration systems) and refrigeration industry (environmentally friendly heat pumps end refrigeration systems), and the commersial refrigeration systems (supermarkets). The interaction between modelling, simulation and laboratory activity will be emphasized (laboratories of dewatering, refrigeration, food engineering and multi phase flow).

Knowledge:

The project provides the student with knowledge within one or several areas of competence:

- Gas processing and LNG

- Refrigeration components and systems

- Refrigeration systems and processes in the food industry

- Dewatering and drying engineering

- Multi phase flow

- Industrial heat engineering

- Environmental analysis

Skills:

The project should enable the student to:

- Analyses, design and operation of industrial processes and components

- Developing and implementation of new technology in industrial processes

- Ability to go deep in theoretic and/or practice within a specific topic by use of scientific methods, own experiments or develop models for detailed analyses

- Ability to perform larger independent projects inclusive project plans with milestones, reporting results and write a scientific report according standards

General competence:

The project should give the student:

- After fulfilled topics the student will have a detailed knowledge about the selected industrial process. The student will be able to use this competence in projects where these topics are integrated as components or technology elements.

The specialisation project is an independent work performed by the student under guidance of the supervisor. The guidance and advice are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course.
