2. 1. PFAS in the water supply: source water contamination

   Author : Dauren Mussabek; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; source water; drinking water; per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances; PFAS; AFFF; UV treatment;

   Abstract : Water contamination with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a serious problem for water suppliers in many regions. Due to persistence of the substances and a complex distribution mechanism, PFAS can have an adverse impact on water quality. READ MORE

4. 2. Fighting flameless fires : Initiating and extinguishing self-sustainedsmoldering fires in wood pellets

   Author : Ragni Fjellgaard Mikalsen; Vidar Frette; Bjarne C. Hagen; Ulrich Krause; Anne Steen-Hansen; Ulrich Krause; Nieves Fernandez-Anez; RISE; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel storage safety; Industrial fire; Biofuels; Smoldering; Extinguishment; Fire suppression; Fire growth; Fire spread; Heat transfer; Nonlinear dynamics; Complex systems; Combustion; Biomass energy; Synchronization; Oscillations; EMRIS;

   Abstract : Smoldering fires represent domestic, environmental and industrial hazards. This flameless form of combustion is more easily initiated than flaming, and is also more persistent and difficult to extinguish. The growing demand for non-fossil fuels has increased the use of solid biofuels such as biomass. READ MORE

5. 3. Durability of fire exposed concrete : Experimental Studies Focusing on Sti„ffness & Transport Properties

   Author : Joakim Albrektsson; Johan Silfwerbrand; Lars Boström; Manouchehr Hassanzadeh; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete; Fire; Polypropylene fibres; Durability; Tunnel; Damage assessment; Ultrasonic pulse velocity; Water absorption; Chloride migration; DIC; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Road and rail tunnels are important parts of the modern infrastructure. High strength concrete (HSC) is commonly used for tunnels and other civil engineering structures, since it allows high load carrying capacity and long service life. In general, Swedish road and rail tunnels should be designed for a service life of 120 years. READ MORE

6. 4. Demand for Extinguishing Media in Manual Fire Fighting

   Author : Stefan Särdqvist; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fire fighting; Fire brigade; fire suppression; extinguishing agents; extinction; Technological sciences; Teknik;

   Abstract : Risk analysis and intervention planning are important in fire prevention and risk management strategies. This study has shown that it is possible to use fire safety engineering models to estimate the development of fires on a realistic scale, and the corresponding requirement for extinguishing media.

7. 5. Water mist fire protection systems : The development of testing procedures for marine and heritage applications

   Author : Magnus Arvidsson; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vattendimma; brand; fartyg; kulturbyggnader; Water mist; fire protection; fire test procedures; Ships; marine applications; heritage buildings;

   Abstract : Modern, commercial water mist fire protection system technology evolved at the beginning of the 1990s due a need to replace halon fire-extinguishing systems and improve fire safety on passenger ships. This thesis documents the unknown water mist system development work by two Swedish companies during the 1970s and 1980s. READ MORE
