Unique tools to meet industry demands of our focus areas
RISE PFI has a large focus on R&D related to production and utilisation of novel bio-based materials. Generic off the shelf equipment is important for this development, but to keep up with the research front, there is often a need to highly specialised equipment units. We have several unique, highly flexible, equipment units designed to mimic existing and yet to know processes. Although some of the units are targeted for a specific focus area and use, new combinations of units enable us to explore new and innovate processes for the bio-based industries.
