What is the IFRF?

The IFRF is a membership based industrial co-operative, working to achieve cleaner and more efficient combustion. It has been active in this field for over 50 years, principally in experimental research, and is now based at Livorno, Italy:

The International Communication Centre - IFRF NET

The acquisition of technical information is done through investigations at its experimental facilities and through co-operation, organised via IFRF NET, which is also active in the dissemination of this information.

What are the IFRF objectives?

The objectives for which the IFRF was established are:
	to attain knowledge and experience bearing upon combustion, in an efficient and environmentally acceptable manner.
	to accumulate this knowledge within an international centre of excellence.
	to place this knowledge and experience at the disposal of others for further development and industrial application.

IFRF as a Network?

As a network, with individual members from different industrial fields of expertise, the IFRF combines information and resources to achieve their objectives more effectively. Members advise the IFRF on future research and services requirements.

Thus the IFRF is an industrial and academic Network, based mainly on the Members of 14 National Committees for Flame Reseach plus Associate Members. Members share common objectives - to advance the understanding of industrial combustion processes and to promote cleaner, more efficient energy conversion.
