Anders ha a PhD in Fire Technology, with a focus on fire dynamics in tunnels. Over the years he has performed research on e.g. emissions from fires and application and spread of fire fighting foams. Today, in addition to tunnels, much of Anders' research focuses on fire safety in relation to storage and handling of biofuels and waste. This also includes studies on selfheating properties. Anders is the convener of the working groups ISO/TC238/WG7 (Safety of solid biofuels) and ISO/TC300/WG6 (Safety of solid recovered fuels).
Anders is the director of the Fire Protection unit within the Fire and Safety department.

Development of a numerical tool for simulating dust explosions

Dust explosion is a constant threat to the Swedish industries which deal with combustible powders such as pellets producers, food industry, metal industry and so on.

Fire in new energy carriers on deck 2.0

The aim of BREND 2 is to improve the possibilities for a safe firefighting operation in ro-ro spaces by improving the competence in how personnel assess the fire risks with alternative fuel vehicles. Special focus will be on the r…

Lagging fires - Fires in insulation materials

If an insulation material is exposed to an oil or any other organic, a fire may under the right circumstances develop. Depending on the conditions the resulting fire may remain smouldering or develop into open flames.

Development of product, safety and emission characteristics of pellets

The aim of the project is to improve pellet quality with respect to emissions and self-heating during storage as well as improve efficiency during combustion. The project also includes industrial scale tests of a newly developed m…

Fire test of vehicle components

We offer our clients a possibility for specialized fire tests of vehicle components and vehicles with heat radiation measurement and flue gas analysis if desired.

Isothermal calorimetry - Microcalorimetry

Isothermal calorimetry, also known as microcalorimetry can be used to study almost any release or consumption of energy. The sensitivity is high and very small amounts of energy fluxes can be measured, because of this, the method …

Risks with fire-exposed gas cylinders

RISE has run several projects on risks with new energy carriers such as gas vehicles. During 2019 and 2021, fire tests and extinguishing tests were carried out on gas tanks (biogas and hydrogen gas) - unique risky situations that …

Safety in underground structures

RISE are conducting research within fire, risk and safety in underground structure, for example: tunnels, mines, caverns and garages.

Dust explosions

Dust explosions may have a devastating effect with lethal outcomes or cause damage to personnel and property. Often these accidents occur at sites with no former dust explosions which may lead to a false sense of security.

Self-heating

Perhaps the most common cause of fires in large bulk storage is self-heating leading to spontaneous ignition. Self-heating is partly due to microbial activity, chemical oxidation and physical processes and can lead to spontaneous …

Fuel Storage Safety

Our research platform for safe storage of fuels has a combined expertise in fire, risk and safety. This mainly covers solid biomass and waste, but also liquid and gaseous fuels.

Microcalorimetry

The microcalorimeter can be used to study heat released or consumed by any slow reaction under constant conditions. The method can after only hours or days detect degradation of a material, something that otherwise would have take…

Large Fire Test Hall

One of the largest large scale fire test halls in Europe. Modern smoke and water cleaning systems fulfill high environmentally sustainable requirements.
