Biomass processing methods for extraction or hydrolysis have been developed in this laboratory and then scaled up for engineering assessment. Similar designs can be used to scale up bioprocessing systems as well. A skid-mounted unit contains a complete continuous-flow high-pressure processing system including pumps, heat exchangers, and feed and product tanks. It is fully instrumented and has a computer-controlled data acquisition system. It has two 2-inch ID by 6-foot tall tubular reactors, each about 4-liters volume, with electrical heating and a tube-in-tube heat recovery system. The system can process at up to 365°C and 3500 psig. The processing system is designed to run at one half ton per day of feed slurry. Pressure is maintained in the reactor system by a back-pressure regulator. After pressure letdown, gas and liquid products enter a separator/liquid product tank from which gas products are vented. Back-up product cool down is accomplished with a forced air fan. For processing, the unit requires minimal setup; it has a single 480-volt input line. Other process engineering equipment is also available including screen and membrane filter systems and supercritical fluid cleaning and extraction systems. Also found at the PDL-E are micro-scale reactor systems for testing various gas phase reactions. These reactor systems include the 4-Plex system which allows parallel testing of catalyst formulations with online chemical analytical capability. Two other reactor systems are constructed within ventilation hoods and allow testing of various micro-technology reactor configurations with a range of process gas components. In addition, there are two high-pressure continuous-flow, fixed- catalyst-bed reactors for aqueous phase processes. These micro-scale reactors (30 milliliter bed) allow extended time process testing for catalyst lifetime determination. They are connected to the hydrogen compressor system at CEL to allow long-term, continuous hydrogen gas flow.</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>PDL-W</Name><Description>PDL-West is also a high-bay facility, most recently has housed the Pretreatment Engineering Platform (PEP), an engineering-scale demonstration of Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant pretreatment processes.

The projects in PAL include performance analysis and modeling, system design for advanced architectures, high-performance interconnection networks, scheduling, and system software research and development.</Description></Stakeholder><OtherInformation/><Objective><Name/><Description/><Identifier>_dd61f68a-3ea7-11e4-8576-c2f482db4d5c</Identifier><SequenceIndicator/><Stakeholder><Name/><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation/></Objective></Goal><Goal><Name>DOE Mission</Name><Description>Meet DOE's mission needs as part of PNNL's overarching research computing strategy.</Description><Identifier>_dd61f68b-3ea7-11e4-8576-c2f482db4d5c</Identifier><SequenceIndicator>23</SequenceIndicator><Stakeholder><Name>Computational Science Facility (CSF)</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>PNNL Institutional Computing (PIC)</Name><Description>PNNL Institutional Computing (PIC) is focused on meeting DOE's mission needs and is part of PNNL's overarching research computing strategy. PIC supports large-scale general-purpose clusters with high-speed interconnects and special-purpose testbeds. Mass storage and archival systems -- 4 PB parallel file storage and Aurora archive tape systems -- are fully integrated with PIC to facilitate easy access and sharing of data. PIC also manages server instances to host persistent services, such as databases, web servers, and application frameworks. PIC offers a generous platform for researchers, including leading-edge computational capabilities and infrastructure, as well as relative subject matter expertise composed of members of PNNL's various computational groups. Capabilities include: high-performance computing, Windows HPC (on campus), high-speed data transfers, experimental architectures: high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs); Many Integrated Core (MIC) testbeds, storage (including tape archive) up to 7 PB, dedicated Analytics/ Hadoop cluster, compilers, large (2 TB) shared memory system, and virtual machines. PIC's Olympus supercomputer, a world-class cluster, currently features: a 20,000-core HPC supercluster composed of regular nodes, fat nodes (nodes with extra memory), and 32 high-performance GPU nodes; 692 dual-socket nodes with 16 cores per socket AMD Interlagos processors, running at 2.1 GHz with 64 GB of 1600 MHz memory per node (2 GB/socket); a QDR Infiniband network (40 GB/s) for internal communications; and frequency switching for saving power (more than 15%) on idle nodes.</Description></Stakeholder><OtherInformation/><Objective><Name/><Description/><Identifier>_dd61f68c-3ea7-11e4-8576-c2f482db4d5c</Identifier><SequenceIndicator/><Stakeholder><Name/><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation/></Objective></Goal></StrategicPlanCore><AdministrativeInformation><StartDate/><EndDate/><PublicationDate>2014-09-17</PublicationDate><Source>https://www.data.gov/app/uploads/2014/06/DOE-Inventory.csv</Source><Submitter><FirstName>Owen</FirstName><LastName>Ambur</LastName><PhoneNumber/><EmailAddress>Owen.Ambur@verizon.net</EmailAddress></Submitter></AdministrativeInformation></StrategicPlan>
