We want to become more! The Swerim Metals Research Institute conducts industry-oriented research and development on metals and their path from raw material to finished product. We are 200 employees in two locations in Sweden - Luleå and Stockholm. Our vision is a fossil-free and circular industry. Within the Pilot and Demo business area at Swerim, we work operationally with the operation and maintenance of pilot and demonstration facilities. Swerim has pilot plants for most known metallurgical processes, processing technology equipment, its own hydrogen production plant and plants for reforming the various process gases available in the industry. We rebuild and adapt our facilities to the customer's own conditions and develop pilot-scale processes that can be transferred to the customer's own manufacturing plant. Several new pilot plants are being built in our heating and processing test hall, where the use of hydrogen is a central theme.
