Please be patient for the High Bay 1 Panoramic tour to load.

The Laboratory for Transportation Fuels and Polymer Processing is located at the Incubator Building in Rolla's Hy-Point Industrial Park. The Laboratory is divided into three sections: High Bay 1 Panoramic Tour, High Bay 1 Non-Panoramic Tour, High Bay 2, and an Analytical Wing. In addition the Laboratory has modest office, reception, and conference facilities. The two high bays provide infrastructure and support for several pilot plant scale supercritical fluid technology systems, fuel technology systems, experimental process unit fabrication and maintenance, coal analysis, clean water technology, polymer extrusion, polymer blending, composite materials, and injection modeling. In addition to the facility's twin screw extruder, the facility has three production scale extruders, and equipment for clean coal technology. In support of the experimental process systems is an analytical laboratory wing with laboratories for polymer and rubber characterization, fuel characterization, biotechnology, microscopy, chromatography, calorimetry, and process drafting.
