Collaboration with SINTEF

Major test campaigns

We have an active and fruitful collaboration with SINTEF. That includes cooperation in the MEA campaigns, CESAR-1 campaign and AEROSOLV campaign and the upcoming AURORA project.

All campaigns conducted have provided us with significant learning and the results have been shared with the outside world. More than 20 publications have been produced.

Here is a small excerpt

• Results from MEA testing at the Technology Centre Mongstad. Verification of Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracker (RFCC) baseline results (2021)
• Application of Sequential Design of Experiments (SDoE) to Large Pilot-Scale Solvent-Based CO₂ Capture Process at Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) (2021)
• Cost Reduction Study for MEA based CCGT Post-Combustion CO₂ Capture at Technology Center Mongstad (2021)
• A Benchmark for Compact CO₂ Capture Plant Designs by Monoethanolamine Solvent Testing at Technology Centre Mongstad (2021)
• Demonstrating flexible operation of the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) CO₂ capture plant (2019)
• CO₂ capture with monoethanolamine: Solvent management and environmental impacts during long term operation at the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) (2019)

Both the MEA and CESAR-1 campaigns have given TCM good references for new technology suppliers to compare themselves with.

SINTEF is an organisation with which we have several relationships, and we are pleased to share the video greeting from Head of Research, Mona Mølnvik.
