On 12th March 2015 IWMA held a seminar at the University of Lund in the South of Sweden. Title: “Scandinavian Water Mist Seminar: Technical Update & Approval Status”.
Just under 40 people attended the seminar. Some of them were students from Lund University whom IWMA had invited to attend this event free of charge.
This local seminar was divided into three parts. The morning session was dedicated to approvals as well as to research & testing. The speakers were Bjarne Husted (Lund University), Magnus Arvidson (SP Fire Research Sweden) and IWMA chairman Ragnar Wighus (SP Fire Research Norway). Daniel Martin and Jasper Ho, two students from Lund University, introduced their master theses.

During the afternoon Diep Ngoc Phan (Novenco), Ann Micheli (Ultra Fog) and Leif Lindgren (Dafo) presented systems in practice. This second part was followed by group discussions, each group focusing on a different aspect of water mist fire protection.
The seminar was sponsored by the three Danish companies Danfoss Semco, Novenco and VID Fire-Kill as well as by Ultra Fog from Sweden.
