Pilot plant helps companies with process development

For the past year, a pilot facility for development of fluidized bed processes has been in operation at Swerim in Luleå.

First with powder analysis technique

Surface analysis of tens of thousands of unbound particles with results within a few minutes was previously just a dream.

Rotating flow improves continuous casting

Using a simulator, Swerim has developed a method that improves steel flow during continuous casting.

Green rocket engines in space

For the past 10 years Swerim has helped the aerospace company ECAPS with analysing welded and soldered joints to further develop their rocket engines.

New use for roasted by-product

In the production of zinc, a sulphur-rich by-product is formed which is normally disposed of.
