The test bed offers opportunities to design, develop and validate conventional as well as alternative drying processes, as well as to test and develop data for the implementation of more energy-efficient drying technology.

• Testbed food processes – alternative and conventional technology for heat treatment with several applications in drying. Includes spray drying, microwave-assisted drying, drying with infrared technology and impingement, and combination drying techniques.
• Testbed drying of grains and crops. Includes drying with conventional technology, microwave-assisted drying and IR drying. In collaboration with Swedish manufacturers of conventional drying technology, we have a continuous grain dryer on a pilot scale.

Testing can be conducted in accordance with standards for prefabricated small-scale wastewater treatment plants. However, CE marking documentation is not provided.

Uniquely, the testbed is connected to a sewage network with a separate blackwater stream, enabling testing with blackwater alone or in combination with mixed wastewater. This allows for controlled variations in organic matter and nutrient concentrations to simulate desired conditions.

The facility includes four below-ground test compartments, designed to maintain stable temperatures and replicate real-world installation environments. Each compartment is equipped with tap water as well as wastewater access and features a retractable roof for easy installation of larger equipment.

In addition to technology testing, the testbed supports a wide range of projects, including filter and column testing, sensor development, and custom setups. Collaboration with RISE’s prototype workshop enables tailored solutions based on client requirements.

Mobile test bed for biogas production on freight shafts that can easily be moved to customers. The main purpose of the plant is that it offers larger production facilities the ability to test run planned pilot scale changes before implementation. The pilot trials run on-site at the customer means that we have realistic substrate variations and other local conditions that can affect the results.
     An additional advantage is that local operating personnel are given the chance to test new operating routines before they are introduced into the production facility. The pilot plant can also be used as a test bed to test new technology concepts in connection with digestion and as a demonstration plant to increase understanding and acceptance for biogas plants.
     The test beds are fully automated and practically all functions can be remotely controlled via a network connection from our Uppsala office. The plant is very flexible and can be adapted to the customer's requirements, for example, temperature of rotation, substrate type and flow.

Fully equipped mechanical workshop with very high capacity for production of test equipment, prototypes and pilot installations. Production is craft-related, where the machine park is adapted for the construction of single constructions rather than series production.

What is unique is that the idea of how the construction is to be seen does not necessarily have to be completely completed when the workshop is hired. The design base can be anything from finished CAD drawing files to the oral description of what is desired where the equipment may emerge successfully in dialogue between the customer and the craftsmen.

Inventors, researchers and product developers are also offered expert support from other research personnel who in many cases can assist in designing, optimizing and adapting what is being built to state-of-the-art in agriculture and environmental technology.
