PNNL's biomass program is housed in the Bioproducts, Sciences, and Engineering Laboratory (BSEL) on the campus of the Washington State University Tri-Cities in Richland, Washington. BSEL includes high-pressure catalytic reactor rooms for hydrogenation and other chemical processing; bioprocessing laboratories for developing and engineering fungal fermentations supporting wet chemical laboratories for synthesis and preparation of catalysts and feedstocks; and the Combinatorial Catalysis Research Laboratory, which houses our state-of-the-art, rapid-throughput catalyst discovery instrumentation. BSEL also has a 2,500-square-foot high-bay facility for integration and scale-up of the various processing steps in biofuels and bioproducts manufacture.
