The Gerald H. Moore Process Technology Laboratory is a two-level, 1806 square foot pilot plant that includes a distillation column, double-effect evaporator, liquid-liquid extraction unit, absorption column, heated batch reactor, mixing tank, and fluidized bed demonstration.

The Polymers Processing Laboratory is located in the TSU Technology Center north of campus. This laboratory houses an extruder, a post-former, an injection molder, two-roll mill, small-scale vacuum thermo former, and a tensile testing apparatus.

The Unit Operations Laboratory is a 992 square foot space that holds the fluid flow apparatus, double-pipe heat exchanger, composition experiment, cooling tower, kinetics experiment (CSTR and PFR), three-column manometer, packed column, and the process controls system with computer data acquisition.

The Biochemical Engineering Laboratory, located in the John G. Best Hall of Science, has an impressive array of equipment, including incubators, centrifuges, a thermocycler (polymerase chain reaction), and a laminar flow hood. Analytical tools in this 731 square foot laboratory include an HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography), an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, electrophoresis and chromatography equipment, and an array of microscopes.

The Chemical Engineering Computer Laboratory is 593 square foot space containing fourteen computers exclusively for student use. A third of these computers are replaced with new, state-of-the-art machines each year. Computers are loaded with current versions of several software applications useful in chemical process calculations including: ChemCad, MathCad, Polymath, Control Station, PumpSel, ISC3, and MS Office suite.

The Dr. Raymond L. Porter Chemical Engineering Study is 501 square foot room where students can work collaboratively on homework and design projects. Several industry journals and other references, including Perry’s Chemical Engineers Handbook and the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, are available for student use. Also housed in the study are two couches where students can relax as well as a microwave, refrigerator, and a scanner/printer.
