Malcolm Andrew Kelland (9 October 1963)〔Ulrikke Valvik Mitchell, ''Ismannen med varmt hjerte'' in Stavanger Aftenblad, Sept 21, 2013.〕 is professor of chemistry at University of Stavanger in Norway, known for inventing environmentally friendly chemicals for the oil industry. He studied chemistry at Oxford University from 1983 to 1990 and was awarded a DPhil〔His DPhil is mentioned on his (linkedin ) page〕 in Organometallic chemistry. From 1991 to 2000 he worked at ''Rogalandsforskning'', a Norwegian research institute located in Stavanger (established 1973). Since 2000 he has worked at Stavanger College, which since 2004 has been known as the University of Stavanger. His research has resulted in Kinetic Inhibitors. These are chemicals that aim at preventing gas hydrates, which is ice formation in oil pipes, a process that also may clog the pipes and cause damage to personnel. The inventions are called ''Low Dosage gas Hydrate Inhibitors'' (LDHI) and cause less pollution than chemicals that have been traditionally used such as methanol and glycol.〔 His inventions are inspired by how fish survive in cold waters, and use degradable components that resemble the protein found in fish.〔''Kjemi ga kjemikeren livet tilbake'' in Rogalands avis, October 24, 2011.〕 Kelland is registered as inventor of several patents, some owned by oil companies such as Exxon,〔Some of his patents are described at (patents.justia.com ), last read on July 17, 2014〕 and in 2011 he co-founded the company ''Eco Inhibotors''. Since 2010 he has been the leader of the «Green Production Chemistry» research project.〔(Miljøvennlig oljefeltkjemi ), published by University of Stavanger on February 19, 2013〕 He has published numerous peer-reviewed journal articles on his research.〔His publications are listed in the (Cristin ) publication database.〕 In 2009 he also published a book entitled ''Production Chemicals for the Oil and Gas Industry''.〔See his (homepage ) at the University of Stavanger, last accessed July 17, 2014.〕 He has received prizes from the oil industry. In 2012 he was awarded the Lyse Research Award and in 2013 the Sparebank 1 SR-Bank prize for innovations. ==Some publications== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malcolm Kelland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
