Advanced Power Systems Research Center
The Advanced Power Systems Laboratories (APS LABS) at Michigan Tech is a multidisciplinary collaborative that fosters research efforts in the development of clean, efficient, sustainable power-systems technologies.
Chemical Engineering - Unit Operations Lab
The world-class Unit Operations Lab offers a 6,500-square-foot, multistory learning area, making it one of the largest pilot-scale educational facilities dedicated to chemical processing. The facility includes two pilot-scale experiments: a three-story distillation column and a two-story batch reactor. In addition to performing traditional experiments on heat exchange, drying, filtration, separations, and fluid flow, students also study reaction kinetics, biochemical processes, membranes, and polymer processing.
