Mentum is developing a strategy for the dispersion of oil-in-water debris following oil spill combat operations. An initial phase was undertaken in 2006 suggesting a certain potential in effectively dispersing oil-in-water without the use of chemicals. The results also suggested a reduction of the presence of hydrocarbons following treatment. The technology has since been refined and efficiency improved. NOFO is now co-funding a second phase addressing the dispersion application in particular. Tests are planned for March and April.
Mentum AS move offices to Bergehus, Oslo
On January 11th. 2010, we moved offices from Lysaker to Bergehus, Oslo.
Bergehus was the headquarters of the shipowner Bergersen for many years. The building was built in 1895 and designed by the architect Herman Backer. In the 1930’s the building was upgraded and rebuilt under the leadership of architect Arnstein Arneberg. The building was aquired by Bergesen in 1954 and served as their headquarters until the company was sold in 2003. Since then, Bergehus has been the headquarters of BW Gas.

The development of the Close Circuit Cavitation Technology (C3T) was instrumental in the establishment of OceanSaver AS. MetaFil/ Mentum was contracted to develop the technology by OceanSaver already in 2004. The recent agreement provide Mentum with the freedom to develop the technology further for applications outside that of Ballast Water Management. Applied Cavitation is a prioritised business area for Mentum.
