Testbeds
Testbeds
CASFER testbeds are mobile units (systems assembled in trailers, skid-mobile units) that integrate the technologies for the different thrusts, separations, catalysts, reactors, sensors, and control algorithms.
Mobile units enable transportation to points of interest, like farms near Texas Tech and FAMU, for crop testing. The units will also allow remote monitoring as well as video conferencing capabilities for training and support of EWD activities.
Testbeds play a critical role in engaging stakeholders and allow for the on-site demonstration of disruptive technologies. Pilot-scale testbed operations validate process design parameters for first commercial unit deployment with industrial partners.
