The Bioenergy Group owns facilities and resources in the laboratories of the University of Seville’s School of Engineering (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Sevilla) for research into the gasification process and the synthesis of biofuels from biomass. Among these, the most important are:

  • 150 kWth bubbling fluidized-bed biomass gasification pilot plant
  • Gasification Laboratory made up of:
    • Fluidized bed for gasification and pyrolysis of 2 kWth
    • Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) to determine the kinetics of gasification and pyrolysis
    • Cold model of the FLETGAS system
  • Catalytic synthesis laboratory, made up of:
    • A medium pressure fixed-bed reactor
    • Two high pressure fixed-bed reactors
    • A high pressure three-phase reactor (Slurry)
    • A bench-scale plant
    • Four gas chromatographs
