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.

Risks in fuel storage - New Guidelines for solid biofuels and waste.

Every year, accidents occur in the form of fires and explosions when handling solid biofuels and waste. New regulations and standards describe methods for risk identification and risk minimization. RISE therefore invites to a webi…

Wire basket tests to prevent self-heating

A common fire cause during storage of porous organic materials is autoignition. The reason is self-heating, which is triggered by microbial activity, chemical oxidation or physical processes from moisture migration. The most comm…

Evaluation of PFAS remediation technique

PFAS in soil and water is a major problem in Sweden and internationally. PFAS may spread to people via the environment causing negative health effects. There are many different purification techniques to remove PFAS from the envir…

Substitution of PFAS

At RISE, testing, evaluation, research, verification and validation are ongoing to enable the substitution of hazardous chemicals in products, goods and processes into less hazardous alternatives. This page describes how we may he…

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.

Firefighting foam

<p>RISE has worked in the field of firefighting foam since the middle of the 70's, something that has allowed us to gain a vast experience and knowledge. Firefighting tactics and use of firefighting foam, testing of foa…
