Rondo är en byggnad på Lisebergs nöjesfält som uppfördes 1940 och har genomgått förändringar både av byggnaden och av verksamheten sedan dess. Brandskyddet varierar genom byggnaden beroende på hur moderna delarna är och en verifiering av Rondos brandskydd är därför relevant. Rapporten syftar därför till att utvärdera Rondos brandskydd; målet med rapporten blir då att analysera de brandscenarierRondo is a building at Liseberg amusement park that was constructed in 1940, and both the building and the establishment have since gone through several changes. As a result, the degree of fire protection of the building varies depending on the modernity of the parts. A verification of the functionality of the fire protection is therefore relevant. The report aims to evaluate the fire protectio

Micropollutants, such as pharmaceutical residues, are increasingly prevalent in water sources, posing significant risks to human and animal health while contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Despite high-standard wastewater treatment across the EU, the effective removal of micropollutants requires the adoption of more advanced treatment technologies, specifically quaternary treatment technolog

Världen idag är i ett stort behov av att byta ut fossila råvaror mot mer hållbara alternativ. Nya processer behöver utvecklas för att minska våra utsläpp, bland annat tillverkning av icke fossilbaserade plaster. Plasten polyetylenfuranoat (PEF) har visat stor potential som alternativ till PET, och kan tillverkas av 5-hydroymetylfurfural (HMF). HMF kan bland annat framställas från fruktos, vilket kThe demand for plastics is growing due to global population, economic growth and insufficient recycling, where new bio-based feedstocks must be investigated to meet future emission goals. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical that can produce Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) with similar characteristics to fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The HMF can be produced
