The Centre for Fire, Explosive and Environment Safety, Delhi has rich infrastructure for scientific studies and research in its areas of specialisation.
In the National Halon Banking Programme, there are facilities for halon reclamation, recycling and refilling. (Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion). The Smoke Tunnel Facility helps test and evaluate fire detectors based on smoke and temperature. The Simulation Facility for Test Fire studies fire dynamics and combustion.
The centre has process and pilot plants facilities for the following studies.
