Pullammanappallil Lab
Led by Pratap Pullammanappallil · Agricultural and Biological Engineering
What we study
The lab studies waste management and biofuels using anaerobic digestion, a process where bacteria break down waste to produce methane. They use a patented method called SEBAC to recover fuel from agricultural and municipal waste.
