Marie Curie Training site ECOCHEM in process systems and reactor engineering (2002-2006):


Ph.D. students from EU countries may receive 1200 Euro per month to cover extra expenses when staying with the Department of
Chemical Engineering for a period of 3-12 months.

Supervision and other arrangements
The visiting doctoral students will all be provided with their personal supervisor. This will be one of the professors in the 'core' group. In addition, research staff from Department and SINTEF will be used as co-supervisors. An office for the student, usually shared by two, will be provided, equipped with necessary infrastructure such as PC/terminal with direct link to our computer system and to the super-computer central.
Accommodation in one of the nearby student 'towns' will be provided by the University.
The supervisors of the 'core' group, including fields of research are:

Professor Sigurd Skogestad (Head of Department): Process control, Robust control,
Distillation control and dynamics. Internationally known for work in process control, included robust control and control of integrated process plants (plantwide control). Principle author of, together with In Postlethwaite, of the book: "Multivariable Feedback Control", John Wiley, 1996.

Professor Terje Hertzberg: Computer aided process modelling, Numerical methods, Process optimisation, Applied statistics, parameter estimation, model validation and verification. Internationally known for work in dynamic simulation and computer aided process modelling

Professor Kristian Lien (Energos): Process synthesis and design, Reactive separation systems, Process operation, AI and knowledge based systems. Internationally known for work ion process synthesis including the integrated approach to design of reactor and separation systems.

Professor Arne Grislingås (Statoil): Reactor technology, Natural gas conversion processes, Petro-chemistry and refinery processes, Separation processes. Specialities are industrial applications and operation of natural gas conversion processes.

Professor Hugo A. Jakobsen: Reactor modelling, CFD, Numerical methods, Super-computing, Parallelization, Multiphase reactive flow modelling, Atmospheric air pollution modelling. Specialities are development of CFD models for bubble columns and models for long transported air pollution in the atmosphere under the UN/ECE European Monitoring and evaluation programme.

Professor Hallvard F. Svendsen: Reactor modelling, Multiphase reactive flow modelling, Gas cleaning (CO2-removal), Coalescence and break-up processes, Experimental techniques for model validation and verification. Internationally known for work on CFD models for multiphase reactors and for coalescence and break-up. These are models that are implemented in commercial codes like PHOENICS, CFX and Fluent.
