HighEFF Annual Consortium meeting
The Annual Consortium Meeting will be arranged 3rd and 4th May at NTNU Gløshaugen, Kjel 2, Kolbjørn Hejes vei 1E, Trondheim. Please note that there are two separate registration links for the two days (since day 1 is an open event)
|
Day 1 will be a public conference (in Norwegian only):
You will meet and greet with people from industry, politicians, authorities and researchers on how we can make the industry become more energy efficient by utilizing surplus energy available.
|
|
We have more than 90 participants registered for this conference already – but there are still available seats – so please sign up as soon as possible!
|
|
|
Day 2 will be an internal HighEFF workshop
with technical presentations from HighEFF researchers (in English). We will also have the annual General Assembly meeting in the morning and an Executive Board meeting in the afternoon.
|
The detailed program for the workshop has been sent to you by e-mail from Ragnhild Sæterli.

Defence of Thesis 28th of April: Vegar Andersen
|
Vegar Andersen has submitted the following academic Thesis as part of the doctoral work at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of Materials Science and Engineering:
|
|
Flue Gas Recirculation for the Silicon Process
|
|
|
He will defend his Thesis Friday 28th of April in the presence of the assessment Committee consisting of Associate Professor Leili Tafaghodi (McMaster University, Canada), Senior Scientist Dr. Quinn Reynolds (MINTEK, South Africa) and Professor Hilde Johnsen Venvik (NTNU, Norway). Supervisors have been Prof. Gabriella Tranell and Prof. Kristian Etienne Einarsrud at NTNU, department of Materials Science and Engineering
|
Vegar has studied flue gas recirculation for the silicon process to evaluate the effect on the process, including CO2 concentration in the off-gas, possible future carbon capture technologies and reduced NOX emissions. The work has included theoretical studies and experiments, both on small scale to investigate the effect of different gas atmosphere on silica fume formations and on larger pilot-scale conducting FGR for silicon production to demonstrate the concept close to industrial conditions.
