Students working in the The Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory

The Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory (UO Lab) is the capstone laboratory course taken by chemical engineering students.  The lab contains a variety of pieces of equipment from bench-scale up to pilot-scale and gives students hands-on experience at planning experiments, operating equipment, analyzing data, and reporting on their results. Experiments include large-scale distillation, heat exchange, carbon dioxide absorption, fermentation, and polymer processing, among many others.
