What will I learn?
This course provides a focused, practical pathway to design and operate reliable biomass pyrolysis experiments. Participants explore core reaction mechanisms, product formation, and biomass properties, applying these in lab-scale reactor design, operating conditions, and instrumentation. Coverage includes safety protocols, environmental controls, data analysis, mass balances, and effective reporting to ensure robust, comparable, and publication-ready results.
