• Analysis of a Costly Fiberglass-Polyester Air Filter Fire 

      Log, Torgrim; Gunnarshaug, Amalie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      In September 2020, a fire at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the Arctic areas of Norway received national attention. In an unengaged air intake, the heat exchanger designed to prevent ice damage during production ...
    • Industrial Thermal Insulation Properties above Sintering Temperatures 

      Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Log, Torgrim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Processing highly flammable products, the oil and gas (O&G) industry can experience major explosions and fires, which may expose pressurized equipment to high thermal loads. In 2020, oil fires occurred at two Norwegian O&G ...
    • Modelling breakdown of industrial thermal insulation during fire exposure 

      Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Torgrim; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Skjold, Trygve (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The aging of many of the installations in the oil and gas industry may increase the likelihood of loss of containment of flammable substances, which could lead to major accidents. Flame temperatures in a typical hydrocarbon ...
    • Study of Industrial Grade Thermal Insulation at Elevated Temperatures 

      Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Torgrim; Metallinou, Maria Monika (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Thermal insulation is used for preventing heat losses or heat gains in various applications. In industries that process combustible products, inorganic-materials-based thermal insulation may, if proven sufficiently heat ...
