Chemical Engineering Laboratory (CEL)

CEL houses the following:

  • 400 milliliter continuous flow reactor systems
  • 2-inch diameter bubbling bed fast-pyrolysis system
  • Multiple high-pressure batch reactors
These process development units are part of a suite of other continuous flow reactor systems, which range from 0.5 milliliter to 20 liters. These reactor systems operate in a variety of configurations, including trickle-bed, up-flow, and ebullated bed.

CEL systems are complementary to PNNL's capabilities in high-throughput catalyst discovery and synthesis, characterization, process development, and scale-up.

To use these capabilities, please reach out to the POC listed to the right.
