Our goals are to improve resource recovery, material handling, and decontamination in applicable systems. Contact us if you would like to work together to better understand and evaluate these promising technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><div class=\"table-responsive\"><table class=\"table  table-striped table-bordered table-hover\"  class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>\u2699\ufe0f<br>We have a 5-liter HTC reactor with the capacity for multivariate analysis of feedstock, hydrochar, and process water, including downstream testing of plant growth and soil response, anaerobic digestion (BMP and semi-continuous systems), and membrane filtration.
