The Thermal and Catalytic Process Development Unit at NREL has state-of-the-art equipment for thermochemical process development and testing, ranging from catalyst and feedstock characterizations to bench-scale reactors to pilot plants. Within this facility is the 2 Inch Fluidized Bed Reactor, a versatile lab-scale thermal processing and catalytic upgrading system to evaluate the conversion of renewable and waste feedstocks into fuels and chemicals. In addition, the NREL Research Gasifier is a lab-scale gasification system, perfectly suited to study the conversion of biomass and waste streams to purified syngas. This fact sheet summarizes the capabilities of both systems.
