PILOT & DEMONSTRATION FACILITIES

The Advanced Biofuels Process Demonstration Unit (ABPDU) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility for testing and developing emergent biofuels technologies. 
This 15,000 square-foot facility is available to Bioenergy Research Centers, DOE-supported researchers, academic institutions, non-profit research organizations, and companies involved in biofuels R&D. 

The Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory (IBRL) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign fills gap from innovative research to market application and commercial products. Research at the IBRL is intended to capture the potential of industrial biotechnology to create novel fuels, chemicals, and food ingredientsThe IBRL is housed in converted 2500-square foot pre-pilot bioprocessing research facility with wet mill and dry mill equipment, in addition to a 100-liter fermenter, Parr reactor, nitrogen analyzer, spectrophotometer, hammermill, and small fermenters
