| Description |
- Equipment to size reduce and fractionate solid materials (biomass, MSW, etc.) at up to 5 tons/hr.
- Storage reactors capable of controlling temperature, moisture, and gas composition for material degradation studies.
- Analytical characterization including, particle size characterization, composition, elemental analysis, and various spectrometers.
- Material flow characterization equipment to help inform operations scale-up.

| Limitations |
Large quantities of feedstock or hydrocarbon feed are required. |
| Unique aspects |
Pilot scale facilities enable production of conversion ready feedstocks from low cost resources as well as biofuels in volumes sufficient for fuel performance characterization. |
| Availability |
Capabilities are available with enough advance planning. |
