Lab Resources
The Old Dominion University Biomass Research Laboratory is in the Kaufman Hall Room 243, 258, and 259 (Civil and Environmental Engineering) and is equipped with fume hoods, advanced analytical instruments, and small equipment. The laboratory possesses high temperature/high pressure batch and continuous reactors for conducting experimental studies related to biofuels and biochar production from lignocellulosic biomass / microalgae. This facility is well-equipped for studying different conversion processes including theromochemical, catalytic, hydrothermal (sub-and supercritical water), and anaerobic digestion.
