Platforms & Equipment
Last update: 7 June 2023
Activities on Bioenergies are conducted at different scales, from the laboratory to the semi-industrial pilot, thanks to dedicated research facilities. Existing devices related to sampling, characterization and analysis make it possible to quantify and qualify biomass and all the by-products (solid, liquid, gaseous) resulting from the thermochemical conversion processes, such as combustion, gasification or pyrolysis.

Our 600 m² energy platform houses numerous R&D pilots on a semi-industrial scale for thermochemical conversion of biomass, such as pyrolysis, torrefaction, combustion or gasification. Studies on this rather large scale (10 to 100 kWth) make it possible to predict how the future innovative industrial biomass conversion processes will behave. -
Our team is equipped with several laboratory-scale reactors for more fundamental studies, intended for better monitoring of the mechanisms involved in thermochemical conversion processes.

For more than thirty-five years, our team has been developing skills in chemical and physico-chemical analyses of the biomasses and products from energy conversion processes: pyrolysis, gasification, combustion, torrefaction, vegetable oils and derived products.
