Expertise in biorefinery

Scale-up and evaluation of technical innovations at a commercially viable scale within a simulation environment is crucial for advancing new value chains into practical business concepts. Rise experts can help you with Aspen Plus® simulation tool.

Bio-based products have great potential to contribute to the transition to a sustainable and circular economy. But the measurement of critical product properties is required for efficient and quality-driven processes. RISE can help solve the industrial measurement challenges of bio-based processes and products. 

In the transition from a society almost solely relying on fossil-based energy, a strong trend is seen in the electrification of the industrial sector. RISE is now offering a holistic process development program for electrochemical conversions of bio-based feedstocks with our newly established testbed in Södertälje and Örnsköldsvik.   

Our research refines the tree's own glue – lignin – into materials, chemicals and motor fuels. We also develop processes to utilise and refine the large amounts of lignin and other wood polymers that chemical pulp mills and other biorefineries receive as a by-product.
