• 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; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ...
    • Sammenheng mellom fuktighet i treverk og tiden til overtenning 

      Schei, Brit; Gunnarshaug, Amalie (Bachelor thesis, 2016-06-14)
      Denne oppgaven har til hensikt å se på sammenhengen mellom fuktighet i treverk og tiden til overtenning. Det har blitt gjennomført forsøk med ¼ ISO rom av limtreplater (1,8 cm tykkelse), hvor en 2 kW metanolbrann ble ...
    • Study of Industrial Grade Thermal Insulation as Passive Fire Protection up to 1200 °C 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Torgrim; Metallinou, Maria-Monika (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      It has recently been demonstrated that 50 mm thick industrial grade thermal insulation may serve as passive fire protection of jet fire exposed thick walled steel distillation columns. The present study investigates the ...
    • Study of Industrial Grade Thermal Insulation at Elevated Temperatures 

      Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Log, Maria-Monika Metallinou; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ...
    • Thermal Insulation as Passive Fire Protection for Hydrocarbon Process Equipment? 

      Gunnarshaug, Amalie (Master thesis, 2018)
      The use of thermal insulation and passive fire protection (PFP) raises concerns in the process industry due to potential corrosion under insulation (CUI). Corrosion related incidents is one of the costliest problems facing ...
