Undergraduate Capstone Project (2012)

Proof of Concept (POC) Pyrolysis Bioenergy System Design
Position: Team Leader
       ● Designed and manufactured a working POC able to monitor and control
          the parameters needed for pyrolysis.
       ● Objectives: First, to produce energy carriers in the form of syngas, bio-
