Task force pilot plant





Survey of available pilot plants in Europe; Table 1, Table 2.

The primary duties of the task force include screening of the relevant pilot plants for analytical process of biorefinery, to make a survey of the pilot plants, to publish a short description about each plant that are available in the area in Europe and also to establish a first contact with the pilot plants.

The aim of the task force is to create connections between scientists within the cost action with all listed pilot plant during the COST action period.
The task force is also required to connect research institutions, laboratories and companies that are member of the COST action with relevant industrial pilot plants in their areas.
 

The coordinator of the Task Force establishes the first contacts between different pilot plants with respect to analytical methods for biorefinery in Europe. 
The coordinator is responsible to inform all members of the COST action about new applications, new equipments and facilities that are available for research and development concerning biorefinery and keep them apprised of all actions taken by the Task Force.

The coordinator can help with setup of experimental designs that will be performed at a certain pilot plant to reduce the number of experiments and identification of important parameters. Further, help with planning of an optimization of the process can be arranged.

The coordinator also serves as a member of the COST action and represents the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in the program. The coordinator is a member of management committee and will participate in all MC meeting and workshops arranged by the COST action.
The task force will coordinate activities performed at different available pilot plants.
