NorskGas and Energy Technology, Y-VEI (for applicants with certificate of completed apprenticeship)
The study programme will provide a basic introduction to the fields of general and process chemistry, before the students proceed to gas and energy technology. The programme will provide broad background in the field of gas technology and the use of gas in energy production and as a raw material for industry. The problem concerning environmentally hazardous emissions from natural gas combustion (including C02 treatment) will be examined. Technical safety and risk analysis in the handling of natural gas will be focused on. The programme will include laboratory exercises in the use of industrial standard software for simulation. Students may specialise in economics and management.
