 The B3-150 reactor laboratory contains 3 reactors that explore reactions associated with the conversion of various fuel types. Conversion can be associated with partial oxidation, combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, and various equilibrium reactions associated with products of conversion. Fuel types can range from solid to gaseous carbon containing species that can be converted via gas phase reactions or with solid mediators such as catalyst or metal oxides.
