  1. 1. Sustainable food packaging based on polyhydroxyalkanoate

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Safana Al-Ashor; [2024]
    Keywords : Biopolymers; Sustainable food packaging; Circular economy; Biobased and biodegradable materials; Food packaging; Processing technologies; Food quality; Shelf-life;

    Abstract : The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a serious threat to the environment, as they are produced from nonrenewable crude oil and cannot decompose naturally. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE

  4. 3. Biogas production with Sargassum algae in Grenada : Optimization of process and market analysis

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Wed Al-Lami; Sofia Herjevik; [2023]
    Keywords : Sargassum algae; biogas; anaerobic digestion; bioenergy; Sargassotång; biogas; anaerobisk nedbrytning; bioenergi;

    Abstract : This study has been carried out within the framework of the Minor Field Studies ScholarshipProgramme (MFS), which is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency,Sida. The field study was conducted in Grenada in the spring of 2023. READ MORE

  5. 4. Vibroacoustic Analysis of an OLTC Diverter Switch for Condition Monitoring : Time frequency analysis with Fourier and wavelet transform in combination with multivariate logistic regression for condition monitoring of OLTC diverter switch

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Simon Persson; [2023]
    Keywords : Wavelet transform; CWT; logistic regression; machine learning; ML; vibroacoustic analysis; time frequency analysis; tap changer; diverter switch; power transformer; classification; prediction; condition; vibrations; state prediction; Hitachi Energy;

    Abstract : Vibrations are everywhere around us all the time and we often recognise them as sounds that we can hear and analyse with our brain. In this thesis, data that has been gathered from a diverter switch (DS) in a controlled environment, is analysed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Methods to study device induced aggregation of proteins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Marie Therese von Wowern; [2023]
    Keywords : protein formulation; protein aggregation; insulin; silicone oil; syringe; shear stress; subvisible particle; size exclusion chromatography; flow imaging microscopy; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This work developed a method for the investigation of how medical devices, such as syringes and needles, affect the formation of subvisible particles in a protein drug without excipients. Protein-based pharmaceuticals are well known to be sensitive to different kinds of stress, and exposure to stress during the use of this device is unavoidable. READ MORE
