Advanced Sensing, Processing and Control Technology for Biological, Agricultural, and Food Engineering

Principal Investigator: Roger Ruan

Project Description: NMR and MRI research has enhanced process and product design and control. NTP technologies have improved odor and flue gases control. The ozone technologies have the potential to replace chlorine sanitation methods, and to become a major non-thermal pasteurization process. The technology for making highly refined cellulose from agricultural byproducts is a value-added process, and can reduce undesirable environmental impact.

Project Years: 2002-2007
