Pilot-Scale Facilities

The Energy Institute, a leader in stationary combustion research since 1949, has some of the best facilities in the country for both fundamental and applied research on the nature of fossil fuels and biofuels and the impact of their utilization on the environment. The pilot-scale facilities create industrially relevant flame and temperature conditions and yet have the advantage of producing samples under controlled conditions to assist in understanding the processes at a fundamental level. The facilities are typically used for:

• conducting research to understand the fundamentals of energy conversion processes;
• conducting applied research and providing solutions to industrial problems;
• providing specialized test services such as proof-of-concepts, performance evaluations, demonstrations of new burner designs, emissions characterization and remediation; &
• promoting transfer of technology to industrial groups.
