Background
This thesis will focus on the evaluation of the sustainability impact of modern HIP equipment. Key areas of activity will include analysis of current HIP equipment designs, identification of issues and setting a roadmap to reduce environmental impact. The work will include the development of tools to demonstrate the limited LCA impact for operation of the specific equipment and will consider impact of new equipment deliveries. This work will preferably be carried out at the university/institution with frequent visits and contact with Quintus in Västerås.
