Technology infrastructures for Manufacturing and production conversion

The testbed for the circular wood value chain in Skellefteå is a creative environment for research and development. Here, you can test, verify, and further develop materials, components, and building systems – from idea to reuse – in collaboration with experts and industry.

RISE carbon black pilot plant in Piteå is the world's first facility of its size for the production of fossil-free carbon black. Here, bio-based pyrolysis oil is converted into sustainable carbon material using renewable energy – a groundbreaking step towards greener industrial production.

Internationally competetive drying that includes conventional drying technology, combination technology such as microwave-assisted air drying, drying with infrared technology, etc. Drying of e.g. grains and other food raw materials, food products, etc.

We perform electrical characterization and ruggedness and robustness tests on power electronics devices, packaged components, and modules.

Growing environmental concerns around plastic pollution, climate change, and the increasing demand for renewable materials have heightened the need for research and development in the field of molded fiber products. The ability to form 3D shaped products from biobased fibers provide a promising ave…

The testbed offers the development of materials for concrete 3D printing (both one- and two-component), design, prototyping and validation in connection with other testbeds at RISE. The robot arm on a track enables the printing of objects with unique maximum dimensions of 9.5x3x3 meters.

Flexible pilot plant for stock preparation for cellulose fibres, an important step in paper production.

The separation of cellulose from forests, agriculture and the sea constitutes a fundamental aspect of biorefinery and sustainable production. The Earth's circular and renewable raw materials are in demand and should be sufficient for a considerable amount, and this demand is increasing.

The high-pressure platform enables conversion of various renewable feedstock into both green fuels and bio-based chemicals. The facility has batch and flow reactors that can handle various types of feed at small and medium scales. RISE also offers extensive expertise in the analysis and characteris…

The RISE carbon capture pilot is a transportable facility that can be used to evaluate continuous carbon capture of flue gases from existing industrial plants.  

By applying high pressure and heat, pulp fibres can be compressed and bonded together in a way that increases paper density and strength. The lignin in the mechanical pulp plays a crucial role in creating strong packaging as it acts as a natural binder between the fibers.

HICK is a robust combustion plant where the combustion properties of different fuels can be analyzed in detail. The HICK is used to answer important questions about combustion such as ash formation, composition of flue gases, and erosion of various refractory materials.

The Maritime Dynamics Laboratory (MDL) at RISE test facility SSPA Maritime Center is one of the world's largest wave laboratories, 88 x 39 meters with a depth of 3.5 meters. It is used for tests of how different types of vessels behave in varying wind and wave conditions. The model tests are of gre…

Nationally unique facility through the combination of staff and food grade premises with equipment for manufacturing, product development including production and product analysis.

For hydrogen to be used as a fuel it is important to have an efficient storage solution. RISE has worked with the development of hydrogen storage tanks for a considerable number of years. Background expertise for development of composite storage tanks include development of both gas and liquid hy…

The battery safety lab in Borås is part of the SEEL* initiative. The lab is equipped to evaluate products for thermal propagation, fire exposure, vibration, cycling, and climate variation. The lab’s water- and smoke-cleaning system is world-leading, meeting stringent environmental and sustainabilit…
